Rivian's Chief Software Officer announced that the R2 platform will power all future Volkswagen EVs, beginning with the VW Every1. This $5 billion partnership allows Volkswagen to utilize Rivian's modular and scalable technology, addressing gaps within VW's existing Cariad software. The R2 platform will not only serve Volkswagen's mainline models but also brands like Audi and Porsche, ensuring a cohesive yet customizable approach for each brand to express its identity while benefiting from shared technological advancements.
R2 is the platform that will underpin actually all future EV products at VW. So it's really that modular, scalable technology stack that we will take into VW brands, and we will do it in a way where we will still allow each of the brands to express their own identity.
The platform that underpins Rivian's upcoming SUV will actually become the official digital brain of all future Volkswagen-branded EVs, closing the Cariad-shaped gap in its vehicles.
