Volkswagen Group Premium Platform Electric

Premium Platform Electric (PPE) is a modular car platform for electric cars being developed by Volkswagen Group brands Audi and Porsche.[1][2][3] The platform will be for larger electric vehicles which are not suitable for the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, although Audi will also build cars with the smaller platform.[3] Details of the platform were first revealed in 2019, with Audi noting that it would have 2/3 assembling commonality with the MLB Evo platform.[3] The first car officially announced for PPE was the Audi A6 e-tron.[4]
