Volkswagen originally promised a $5 bn deal to collaborate on software and architecture, but announced it was upping its stake this week
VW has upped its investment in Rivian from $5 billion to $5.8 billion. The joint venture will develop software and architecture to be used by both Rivian and the VW Group. VW says it expects the first car equipped with the new software to debut in 2027. In Europe, the Volkswagen Group is considering closing plants and forcing workers to take pay cuts to save the embattled company some money.
VW says its first car to use the new software will debut in 2027, and that the tech will be shared across the VW Group in various models from VW, Audi, Porsche, and the new Scout Motors. But it looks like Rivian will be the first to deploy the software if it manages to deliver its new small R2 in 2026, as promised. Naturally, with that delivery date so close, work was well underway on the architecture before the two automakers formally launched Rivian and VW Group Technology, LLC this week.
