Volkswagen Group has increased its investment in a joint venture with Rivian Automotive to up to $5.8 billion, with the first VW models utilizing Rivian's software expected by 2027. The partnership aims to integrate Rivian's technology across various VW brands, starting with Volkswagen and Audi. The joint venture will be led by executives from both companies and will focus on software development, with initial teams based in Palo Alto, California.
In September, electrified vehicles accounted for 60% of European automotive sales, with 295,000 plugin vehicles registered, marking a 6% year-on-year increase. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) surged 14% to 212,000 units, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) fell 9%. Notably, sales of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) surpassed petrol vehicles for the first time, indicating a significant shift in the market.
Volkswagen Group is facing a significant crisis, leading to the closure of its first factory in Europe, the Audi plant in Brussels, affecting 3,000 workers. Production will be relocated to Mexico as the company implements a drastic cost-cutting program, with multiple German factories also set to close. The factory's location poses logistical challenges, making it unlikely for a new buyer to retain the workforce.
The 2024 presidential election is pivotal for the U.S. automotive industry, with candidates Trump and Harris presenting contrasting views on electric vehicles, emissions regulations, and trade policies. Trump is expected to roll back environmental standards and impose higher tariffs, while Harris may continue Biden's approach but with potential adjustments for businesses. Automakers are preparing for various outcomes, as the election outcome could significantly impact investments and regulatory frameworks in the sector.
Over 80% of CEOs are boosting investments in digital technology to address economic challenges, with a notable focus on 3D technology innovations.

Key partnerships and advancements in AI are driving further developments in engineering software.
