Volkswagen has revealed its first design preview of Project Trinity. The project will see the development of an electrically powered sedan to be built in Wolfsburg from 2026 which Volkswagen states will set new standards in terms of range, charging speed and digitisation. The sedan will feature Level 4 autonomous driving.

The project name Trinity is derived from the Latin 'trinitas' and stands for the tri-unity. Accordingly, Trinity stands for three crucial themes: A newly developed electronics platform with state-of-the-art software, the simplification of the supply structure, and a fully networked and intelligent production at the main plant in Wolfsburg.

In addition, Trinity will make autonomous driving in the possible for the mass market. By the planned start of series production in 2026, Trinity will already reach Level 2+ and be technically ready for Level 4. "We are using our economies of scale to make autonomous driving available to many people and to build a learning neural network. In this way, we are creating the conditions for the continuous exchange of data from our vehicle fleet - for example, on the traffic situation, on obstacles or on accidents," says Ralf Brandstatter, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.
