Gasgoo Munich-On April 10 and 11, Gasgoo will lead a delegation of top-tier suppliers—spanning smart cockpits, driver assistance, new materials, lightweighting, embodied intelligence, and the low-altitude economy—into FAW-Volkswagen. Their goal: deep dialogue with the automaker's strategy, product, R&D, and procurement teams. The event underscores a broader reality: China's passenger vehicle leader has spent over three decades honing its technical depth and systemic strength.Established in 1991, FAW-Volkswagen is a joint venture between China FAW Group, Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen Group China. It stands as China's first modern passenger car manufacturer built on an economic scale. Over three decades, the company has expanded from a single model—the Jetta—to a three-brand portfolio covering Volkswagen, Audi, and Jetta, straddling both the mass-market and luxury segments.Image Source: FAW-Volkswagen Official WebsiteTracing FAW-Volkswagen's evolution: full-scale production began in 1996; between 2007 and 2016, the company deployed a strategic layout of five major bases nationwide. In 2017, it unveiled its "Strategy 2025" to drive a comprehensive transformation, followed by a 2020 push into new energy and digitalization, alongside exploration of overseas growth. Looking to 2026, the company remains committed to a customer-centric, long-term philosophy. By adhering to a strategy of "oil-electric co-progress and full intelligence," it aims to leverage its systemic advantages for steady growth across both internal combustion and electric tracks.At the same time, FAW-Volkswagen continues to deepen its technical expertise. In core platforms like powertrains and cockpit connectivity, it has established a tiered R&D structure spanning mass application, pre-research, and forward-looking exploration. Over the past year alone, the company launched over 100 innovation projects and filed more than 100 patents. Notably, it self-developed a dedicated hybrid engine, the TQ200 hybrid dual-clutch transmission, and cost-effective three-electric technologies.In 2026, FAW-Volkswagen will accelerate its smart electric transformation, rolling out a new wave of electrification plans that includes 13 new models—six new energy vehicles and seven internal combustion models. The lineup will feature Volkswagen's hybrid offerings (such as the Magotan PHEV), a new all-electric series (ID.AURA), Audi's A6L e-tron built on the premium PPE platform, and Jetta's first NEV model, the J01. This creates a product matrix that runs from mainstream to luxury, powered by multiple technological pathways.Under this roadmap, the launch pace for new energy products will quicken significantly starting in the second half of 2026. Achieving that goal will require robust support and collaboration from the supply chain.On April 10 and 11, Gasgoo will facilitate a professional, granular platform for technical display and exchange. The initiative aims to connect FAW-Volkswagen's strategy, product, R&D, and procurement teams with top-tier suppliers, jointly exploring the possibilities of "technical innovation."Click the text below to review past content:Inside JAC | Bridging Tech Exchanges to Explore New Paths in Low-Power ElectrificationInside Dongfeng | "Shared Roots, Shared Chain" Innovation Tech Exhibition and Intelligentization Forum Wraps UpInside Dongfeng | Shared Roots, Shared Chain: A New Chapter in Intelligent TransformationInside BAIC | Building a Diversified Industrial Ecosystem, Exploring New Paths for Intelligent TransformationInside BAIC | "AI · Smart Future" Innovation Tech Forum and Forward-Looking Tech Exhibition Wraps UpInside Hongqi | Tech Depth Builds Market Confidence, Exploring the "New Realm of Mobility"Inside Hongqi | Exploring the "New Realm of Mobility": Forward-Looking Tech Exhibition Wraps Up
