From 2023 on, Volkswagen intends to produce 1.4 million of similar electric drive units annually.
Volkswagen recently showed an electric motor, the first in a family, compact enough to fit in a sports bag, despite delivering just under 200 bhp. (a P6 could deliver up to 161 bhp @ 5200 rpm). That's the beauty of an electric drive.
This particular drive unit, produced by Volkswagen Group Components, is called the APP 310 electric drive and will be used in the all-new Volkswagen ID.3 model.
Volkswagen explains that "the designation “APP” derives from the arrangement of the drive and the gearbox in parallel with the axle", while 310 is torque value.
Various ID. models will be equipped with front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive units of different power/torque outputs.
The German manufacturer already plans to produce 500,000 electric motors in Kassel, which will be joined by a Chinese plant in Tianjin.
Together, those two will crank 1.4 million electric drives annually from 2023 onwards.
