Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO₂ emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior. This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date. The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. This will also open up new sources of revenue for us.Īpplications at various levels of automated driving (up to Level 4) will be gradually introduced to the new vehicle models in the Group brands. The aim is for every function that is needed or requested and every service to be customized for the users in the various markets and to be available for download at any time. In the long term, the standardized E3 software architecture that is already being developed, together with the VW.OS software platform and the Volkswagen Automotive Cloud, will form the basis of a complete digital ecosystem, offering customers a wide range of software-based services throughout the product lifecycle. This facilitates the deployment of over-the-air updates and is a key lever for introducing new services even after vehicle production has begun. Our aim is to increase the proportion of software in the vehicle that is developed in house.ĬARIAD is already working with the Porsche and Audi brands to introduce the new E3 1.2 platform, which optimizes the harmonization of the hardware with the vehicle software from CARIAD.

The purpose of the Group’s own software and technology company CARIAD is to create the technical basis for data-based business models, new mobility services and automated driving (Level 4), and to leverage cross-brand synergies.
