In recent years, manufacturers are rapidly joining the world of electric cars. Volkswagen, which is among these brands, announced that it will be fully electric again by 2030. However, the launch date of the flagship model, Trinity, which is an important part of the brand’s future plans, has been delayed. officially.
Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume wants to complete the development of Trinity between 2026 and 2030. It was also announced that the model, which will use the group’s new SSP software priority architecture, will come with fourth-level autonomous systems. Plans for Trinity and a new $2 billion facility to manufacture the self- driving cars of the future could also be derailed by this delay.
According to Manager Magazine, Volkswagen management wants to produce at this facility by 2026. But Blume believes they should delay this decision until 2030. In the manager’s view, it is “almost impossible” to implement the necessary software. for this year.
Volkswagen wants the model to have fully autonomous driving. Naturally, this will only be possible with the development of technology. Let’s emphasize that there is still no fourth-tier autonomous passenger car in the industry at the moment.
However, the new SSP platform, which is expected to be introduced with Trinity, seems to be the backbone of another model.
