As part of the cooperation, Volkswagen Group will increase its capital to Xiaopeng Motors by approximately $700 million and acquire approximately 4.99% of Xiaopeng Motors' equity at a price of $15 per ADS (*).
Volkswagen has stated that both sides plan to jointly develop two electric models under the Volkswagen brand for the mid size car market in China. These two new cars, exclusively for the Chinese market, will supplement the product portfolio based on the MEB platform and are planned to enter the market in 2026.
Xiaopeng Motors revealed that in terms of strategic technology cooperation, Xiaopeng Motors and Volkswagen Group will jointly develop vehicle models based on Xiaopeng Motors' G9 model platform, intelligent cockpit, and advanced driving assistance system software. In addition, both sides will explore other potential strategic cooperation in multiple fields, including future cooperation in electric vehicle platforms, software technology, and supply chain.
On October 12th, He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, posted on Weibo stating that he visited the Wolfsburg headquarters of Volkswagen Group at the end of September. "In the past few months, our jointly developed car models have been accelerating, and the technical teams of both sides are like an entrepreneurial team, fully committed and advancing at full speed for a common goal. The strategic cooperation in the supply chain will bring us the potential for common cost reduction." He Xiaopeng said.
"The cooperation between Xiaopeng Motors and Volkswagen is progressing smoothly, with approximately two meetings per week. We have many personnel at Volkswagen, and Volkswagen also has many personnel in Guangzhou (referring to Xiaopeng Motors' headquarters). We are discussing the current deal (agreement) and more deals (agreement)." He Xiaopeng said in an interview with the Daily Economic News on the 1024 Xiaopeng Automotive Technology Day.
In addition, He Xiaopeng also revealed that after reaching a cooperation agreement, Volkswagen studied Xiaopeng's products. "This time, after Xiaopeng and Volkswagen reached a cooperation agreement, Volkswagen executives told me. They believed that Xiaopeng's parts procurement costs were higher than their peers, which also triggered other events (referring to Xiaopeng's internal announcement of the suspension of procurement department head Li Feng and multiple employees cooperating in the investigation)." He Xiaopeng said.
In the above announcement, Xiaopeng Motors also stated that significant progress has been made in the development of two B-class pure electric vehicles jointly with Volkswagen. The feasibility study of the project has achieved positive results and has been completed. In addition, both sides are actively evaluating deeper cooperation in the field of intelligent electric vehicle technology.
