"Little electric insect" came to the public to use the MEB electric vehicle platform to produce beetles

According to the electrek website, for the public's next-generation iconic Beetle model, it has been expected in the past that the model will be manufactured on the Volkswagen Golf Architecture platform. But Volkswagen recently said it is considering using its new MEB electric vehicle platform to produce the new model, which is part of Volkswagen's future electric vehicle program.

Volkswagen plans to use the MEB electric vehicle platform to produce the next generation of beetles

Obviously, Volkswagen is using the nostalgic way of the old bottled new wine to realize the electric car of its main lineup products.

Earlier this month, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Volkswagen released its own electric minibus model, an electric car model based on its past van foundation.

When the Automotive website asked Volkswagen Vortex, Klaus Bischoff, head of the Volkswagen Group's design department, said: Volkswagen is "working hard" for it.

He also said: "As of now, no final decision has been made for Volkswagen Vortex, but it is likely to be the electric car version of the Volkswagen Beetle in the future." Considering that Volkswagen will produce 2 to 3 million pure electric vehicles per year and release 30 new models in 2025, the above statement is also reasonable.

Although Volkswagen is one of the few automakers in the world and is committed to mass-produced electric vehicle products, the company's architecture platform for electric vehicle production is not expected to be put into use until 2020, so all Volkswagen released These concept cars are still in the concept stage.

In recent years, sales of Volkswagen Beetle models have been declining, so a new electric version may be what Volkswagen Beetle needs.
