Besparingen gaan gepaard met veiligheidsrisico\u2019s"},"content":{"rendered":"

Volkswagen zou overwegen om tot 75% van zijn toekomstige Europese gangbare modellen uit te rusten met een elektronische architectuur die in China is ontwikkeld in samenwerking met Xpeng.<\/p>\n

Deze stap zou miljarden euro\u2019s kunnen besparen, maar vormt een bedreiging voor de kostbare samenwerking met de Amerikaanse fabrikant van elektrische auto\u2019s Rivian. Ook roept het vragen op over Europese typegoedkeuring, cyberveiligheid en de toenemende afhankelijkheid van Europese autofabrikanten van Chinese technologie.<\/p>\n

Volgens het Duitse Manager Tijdschrift<\/em>,<\/a> Thomas Sch\u00e4fer, CEO van het merk Volkswagen, en Ralf Brandst\u00e4tter, bestuurslid voor China, willen de China Electronic Architecture (CEA) introduceren in toekomstige Europese modellen van Volkswagen, \u0160koda en Cupra.<\/p>\n

Het voorstel, dat naar verluidt deze week op directieniveau is besproken, zou betrekking kunnen hebben op ongeveer driekwart van de modellen van de volgende generatie van de merken. Mogelijke kandidaten zijn onder meer de toekomstige ID. Golf, ID. Passat en \u0160koda Enyaq. Volkswagen weigerde commentaar te geven op de berichten, die ook door Reuters zijn overgenomen.<\/p>\n

Tot wel 5 miljard euro aan besparingen<\/h4>\n

De financi\u00eble voordelen zijn aanzienlijk. Uit interne schattingen blijkt dat Volkswagen door de in China ontwikkelde architectuur te gaan gebruiken tussen de 4 en 5 miljard euro aan ontwikkelingskosten zou kunnen besparen.<\/p>\n

De technologie is al in gebruik. De China Electronic Architecture (CEA), die gezamenlijk is ontwikkeld door Volkswagen Group China Technology Company, CARIAD China en de Chinese fabrikant van elektrische auto\u2019s Xpeng, is in januari 2026 in serieproductie gegaan met de Volkswagen ID. UNYX 07.<\/p>\n

Het fungeert als de digitale ruggengraat van de auto en vervangt talrijke afzonderlijke elektronische regeleenheden door gecentraliseerde rekenunits en zonale regelaars.<\/p>\n

Dit vermindert de complexiteit van het elektrische systeem van het voertuig, waardoor mogelijk aanzienlijke kabelafstanden kunnen worden vermeden en gewicht en kosten kunnen worden bespaard, terwijl tegelijkertijd effici\u00ebntere communicatie en draadloze software-updates mogelijk worden gemaakt. Volkswagen stelt dat de architectuur het aantal elektronische regeleenheden met ongeveer 30% vermindert.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen heeft het platform in slechts 18 maanden ontwikkeld en in productie genomen, een record voor het bedrijf. Het platform is geschikt voor elektrische, hybride en voertuigen met verbrandingsmotoren. Voor een fabrikant die kampt met vertragingen op het gebied van software en stijgende ontwikkelingskosten, is de aantrekkingskracht duidelijk.<\/p>\n

Hoe zit het met Rivian?<\/h4>\n

De invoering van de CEA in Europa zou echter een andere hoeksteen van de softwarestrategie van Volkswagen op de proef stellen: het partnerschap ter waarde van $5,8 miljard met de Amerikaanse fabrikant van elektrische auto\u2019s Rivian.<\/p>\n

Tot nu toe heeft Volkswagen twee verschillende benaderingen gevolgd: in China ontwikkelde elektronica voor de Chinese markt en een nieuwe architectuur die samen met Rivian is ontwikkeld voor de westerse markten.<\/p>\n

Het verplaatsen van Europese modellen met grote productievolumes naar de CEA zou de economische haalbaarheid van de Rivian-onderneming kunnen ondermijnen. Premiummerken zoals Audi en Porsche zouden weliswaar Amerikaanse technologie kunnen blijven gebruiken, maar er zouden dan minder voertuigen overblijven om de ontwikkelingskosten te delen.<\/p>\n

Volgens Electrive<\/em>, stuit het voorstel op interne weerstand, met name vanwege de gevolgen voor Rivian en de mogelijke kosten die gepaard gaan met het aanpassen van Chinese technologie aan de Europese eisen.<\/p>\n

Goedkeuring op Europees niveau is niet vanzelfsprekend<\/h4>\n

In Europa geldt geen algemeen verbod op in China ontwikkelde auto-elektronica. Het feit dat de CEA in China wordt gebruikt, betekent echter niet automatisch dat deze geschikt is voor inbouw in Europese voertuigen.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen zou moeten voldoen aan de Europese typegoedkeuringsvoorschriften, waaronder UNECE-verordening R155 inzake cyberbeveiliging van voertuigen en verordening R156 inzake software-updates.<\/p>\n

Deze voorschriften verplichten fabrikanten om aan te tonen dat zij voldoende bescherming bieden tegen cyberaanvallen, kwetsbaarheden in software beheersen en zorgen voor veilige, traceerbare updateprocedures.<\/p>\n

Europese regels inzake voertuigveiligheid en gegevensbescherming stellen aanvullende eisen. Verbonden diensten waarbij persoonsgegevens, waaronder locatiegegevens, worden verwerkt, moeten voldoen aan de AVG.<\/p>\n

Belangrijk is dat een elektronische architectuur niet per se een compleet besturingssysteem is. Volkswagen zou gebruik kunnen maken van de in China ontwikkelde hardware- en softwarebasis, terwijl de controle over applicaties, connected diensten en de beveiligingsinfrastructuur in Europese handen blijft.<\/p>\n

Maar dergelijke aanpassingen vereisen technische werkzaamheden, validatie en certificering. Dit zou een deel van de verwachte besparingen teniet kunnen doen.<\/p>\n

Zouden Volkswagen-auto\u2019s Chinese spionageapparaten kunnen worden?<\/h4>\n

De bezorgdheid over de veiligheid reikt verder dan conventionele hacking. Moderne, verbonden voertuigen genereren voortdurend informatie over hun omgeving, bewegingen, inzittenden en soms ook gevoelige locaties.<\/p>\n

In februari meldden de Duitse omroepen NDR en WDR dat Duitse veiligheidsdiensten onderzoek hadden gedaan naar mogelijke spionagerisico\u2019s in verband met Chinese voertuigen met internetverbinding. Hun bevindingen zijn niet openbaar gemaakt.<\/p>\n

Er is echter geen openbaar onderbouwd bewijs dat de CEA van Volkswagen spionagefuncties bevat of Chinese autoriteiten toegang geeft tot voertuiggegevens.<\/p>\n

De relevante vragen hebben betrekking op wie zeggenschap heeft over de software, de cloudinfrastructuur, de versleutelingssleutels, updates op afstand en de toegang tot verzamelde gegevens.<\/p>\n

De Verenigde Staten hebben al beperkingen ingesteld op bepaalde software en hardware voor connected cars die banden hebben met China of Rusland; de beperkingen op software treden in werking voor voertuigen van modeljaar 2027.<\/p>\n

Europa baseert zich momenteel vooral op voorschriften op het gebied van cyberveiligheid, typegoedkeuring en gegevensbescherming, in plaats van op een gelijkwaardig algemeen verbod.<\/p>\n

De technologische ontwikkeling keert zich om<\/h4>\n

Ook buiten Volkswagen zijn de gevolgen aanzienlijk. Stellantis volgt al een vergelijkbare strategie met het Chinese Leapmotor.<\/p>\n

Opel ontwikkelt een nieuwe elektrische SUV in het C-segment, die mogelijk in 2028 op de markt komt. Hierbij maakt het gebruik van de elektronische architectuur, de accu\u2019s en de elektrische aandrijflijn van Leapmotor, terwijl Opel zelf verantwoordelijk blijft voor het chassis, de besturing, het ontwerp en de gebruikerservaring.<\/p>\n

Het model zal naar verwachting in Zaragoza, Spanje, worden geproduceerd, naast de Leapmotor B10. Net als de door Volkswagen voorgestelde, op Xpeng gebaseerde architectuur laat dit project zien hoe Europese fabrikanten steeds vaker naar China kijken, niet alleen voor goedkopere onderdelen, maar ook voor de digitale basis van hun toekomstige auto\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Decennialang hebben Europese fabrikanten voertuigtechnologie overgedragen aan Chinese joint ventures. Steeds vaker zou de technologie ook in de tegenovergestelde richting kunnen stromen.<\/p>\n

Het dilemma van Volkswagen illustreert de verschuiving in de machtsverhoudingen. Chinese fabrikanten concurreren niet langer alleen op basis van batterijkosten en autoprijzen. Hun voordelen liggen steeds meer op het gebied van elektronische architecturen, de snelheid van softwareontwikkeling en integratie.<\/p>\n

Voor de Europese auto-industrie is de centrale vraag of het gebruik van goedkopere Chinese technologie het concurrentievermogen kan behouden zonder dat dit ten koste gaat van de controle over de digitale systemen die in toenemende mate bepalend zijn voor de moderne auto.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
