Vw Looking To Cut Back Battery Costs Past Times 66% Alongside Singe Jail Cellphone Design
Volkswagen Group may shift to a unmarried lithium ion battery jail cellular telephone blueprint for all of its electrified vehicles.
Heinz-Jakob Neusser, VW's board fellow member inward accuse of development, says the grouping is targeting a 66 pct toll reduction amongst a blueprint that would hold upwards packaged into modules customized for each vehicle.
"We convey a clear agreement inward the grouping of a mutual cell," Neusser said during a roundtable at the auto demo here. "That way each fellow member of the group, each brand, uses the same cell. Otherwise, nosotros cannot become the synergies out of this development."
Volkswagen currently uses multiple types of lithium ion cells. For example, Panasonic supplies cells for the e-Golf, Golf GTE plug-in hybrid together with Audi A3 e-tron, piece Samsung supplies cells for the upcoming Passat GTE together with Audi electrified vehicles.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 unmarried blueprint would enable greater utilization of the group's battery module assembly constitute inward Braunschweig, Germany. Multiple suppliers could hold upwards used to root the unmarried jail cellular telephone design, a spokesman said.
Volkswagen plans to decide inward the start one-half of this twelvemonth whether novel battery engineering scientific discipline nether evolution at U.S. of America startup QuantumScape Corp. is cook for purpose inward its electrical cars.
