Correction: I-Pace manufacturer.
That is very weird way to say VW contracted with one of the most used production, development and parts contractors.
Yeah Magna-Steyr does to G-class and a mountain of other stuff for various makers.
Just as applicable would be “VW returns to work with the maker who previously did the Transporter 4x4 to develop the Scout EV”
Oh also the Golf country off-road model and Audi V8L.
Thank you, saves me a google as I sensed headline BS also.
Agree, my first thought was they could’ve said, “VW Turns to Fisker Ocean Manufacturer …”
And jaguar iPace. So they have a certain experience with electric suvs/crossovers there
Given VW bought part of XPeng and plans to use the Xpeng G9 platform in some upcoming model for 2026 and that the the new International Harvester Scout is coming in 2026, I wonder if this means the Scout is gonna be using the Xpeng platform
Magna already works for VW in EVs. Magna produce the MEB asynchron front motor used in ID4 GTX models.
