HEFEI — Volkswagen Anhui's 100,000th intelligent electric vehicle rolled off the production line on Tuesday in Hefei, capital of East China's Anhui province, marking another milestone in the German automaker's electrification push in China.
Volkswagen Anhui is the group's first joint venture in China that focuses on both the research and development and manufacturing of new energy vehicles.
"The 100,000th vehicle is far more than a number," said Miroslav Khula, CEO of Volkswagen Anhui. "We will continue to unlock the synergies between German engineering and local innovation, delivering higher-quality products to our customers."
Competition in China's NEV market has evolved beyond product specs and pricing into a multi-dimensional battlefield that spans software, intelligent driving, electronic and electrical architecture, and even supply chain coordination.
The landmark 100,000th EV is an ID. UNYX 08, the first model co-developed by Volkswagen and its Chinese partner Xpeng. It went into mass production at Volkswagen Anhui's Hefei plant in March, equipped with localized cutting-edge technologies including 800-volt ultra-fast charging and enhanced L2-level assisted driving.
