Volkswagen's Trinity Project Plans to Introduce Integrated Die-cast Technology
According to a recent report on the German Handelsblatt website, in order to produce a new generation of electric vehicles (Trinity project), Volkswagen will build a new factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, where the group headquarters is located. Ralph Brandstedt, CEO of Volkswagen, said not long ago: "Building a new factory is the most promising option." The plan has not yet been fully finalized, and the Volkswagen Group Supervisory Board will meet on December 9 this year and make a decision at the meeting.
The new Volkswagen plant is expected to produce the first Trinity all-electric vehicles from 2026. After that, Volkswagen will work to convert the existing old factory so that it can produce electric vehicles. The four production lines at the existing plant mainly manufacture two cars, the Golf and the Tiguan.
The Trinity project is Volkswagen's biggest hope in Wolfsburg, Germany. "Trinity" represents a new generation of Volkswagen cars that have not yet been produced at the headquarters plant. Trinity cars will have a completely new build and there won't be too many configuration versions, so production efficiency will be significantly improved.
There is no doubt that the Volkswagen Group needs to develop a second competitive electric vehicle series. Most of the group's existing electric models are built on the "MEB platform" (Modular Electric Drive Platforms), which has a history of about five years from a technical point of view.
The current car body is still assembled and welded by a large number of steel plates and aluminum plates, and the integrated die-cast technology can avoid the use of a single plate, thereby significantly improving the company's production efficiency. Volkswagen plans to introduce integrated die-cast technology in the Trinity project, and Tesla has a similar production method at its Greenhead plant in Berlin, Germany.
