Volkswagen’s New Electric Platform Coming by 2026
• Volkswagen continues to work on development of a new EV platform, which will cut charging times dramatically.
This platform doesn't come out of nowhere. The company first announced it in 2021, when Volkswagen’s then-CEO Herbert Diess declared that the platform would make its debut in 2026 with a compact EV, codenamed Project Trinity. Current CEO Oliver Blume delayed the introduction of the structure pending a review of all major projects launched after he replaced Diess in 2022.
According to the company, the SSP platform will be able to offer power outputs ranging from 160 hp to an astronomical 1,740 hp. It will also offer Level 4 autonomous driving technology, the automaker has confirmed. Level 4 means that a vehicle can drive itself without driver intervention for long periods.
