Volkswagen plans to invest 56% of its total EUR 159 billion budget in e-mobility and digitalization, expecting one in four vehicles sold by 2026 to be battery-electric.
The joint venture with Rivian aims to tackle the production of EVs, specifically focusing on getting Volkswagen's flagship Project Trinity electric vehicle into production.
VW's new manufacturing facility in Wolfsburg aims to employ Tesla-style megacasts with 20%-30% automation, creating the all-electric Trinity sports sedan by 2026.
Since 2022, the development of the Trinity factory has stalled, but Rivian's partnership is expected to reinvigorate the initiative with accelerated development.
