Engineering:Volkswagen Group Scalable Systems Platform

From HandWiki

The Volkswagen Group Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) is a modular car platform for electric cars being developed by the Volkswagen Group.[1][2] SSP was announced in July 2021, as part of Volkswagen's "New Auto" strategy, to have a "single battery electric vehicle (BEV) platform across all the group's brands".[2][1] SSP is planned to be introduced in 2026, and intend to succeed the MEB and PPE platforms.[1][2][3] It is also expected to replace Volkswagen's internal combustion engine platforms.[3] As with MEB it is expected that the platform will also be offered to other car manufacturers.[3][4] SSP is intended to have a common platform with different modules.[4] The modules will have a limited number of variants to reduce production complexity.[4] This will allow the Volkswagen brands to create differentiated cars, whilst having a high degree of standardisation.[4][5] As well as a shared car platform, there will also be common battery, software and autonomous driving systems.[6][7]

Reportedly Volkswagen will develop a variant for traditional cars under the code name "Trinity", whilst Audi is creating the variant for SUVs under the code name "Apollon".[8][9]
