Porsche Teams Up With Xpeng for Future EV Platforms, Exiting VW's European Emissions Pool
Porsche has announced a strategic partnership with Chinese EV maker Xpeng to co-develop new electric vehicle platforms, with the first models expected to debut in 2026-2027. This collaboration signifies a pivot for Porsche, as it will also exit the Volkswagen Group's European CO2 emissions pooling arrangement. The move aims to accelerate EV development and ensure compliance with stringent emissions targets independently.
