Auto China 2026: Volkswagen Group Unveils Record Product Offensive and Agentic AI Roadmap for China
At its Media Night before Auto China 2026, the Volkswagen Group unveiled its powerful push into smart mobility. The showcase included a refreshed model portfolio with four global premieres. This new line-up is driven by the "in China, for China" strategy. Every aspect—from design and digital cockpit services to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)—is tailored specifically for Chinese customers. The Group also launched its “Agentic AI for all” roadmap. This initiative is built on the new, scalable China Electronic Architecture (CEA) and will integrate intelligent driving and cockpit features into a single, unified operating system for all vehicle types.

Electric vehicle batteries as grid storage: Volkswagen and Elli to launch Vehicle-to-Grid Offer
Volkswagen, together with Elli, the energy and mobility brand of the Volkswagen Group, is preparing the market launch of a fully integrated Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) offer for private customers in Germany. From the fourth quarter of 2026, Volkswagen customers can not only just charge their electric vehicles, but also actively integrate them into the energy system and generate additional revenue. Pre-registration for the offer will be available from June 2026, with further European countries to follow. With this initiative, Volkswagen is consistently advancing its existing home charging and energy ecosystem. Vehicle-to-Grid is not a standalone product, but the next step in the development of a comprehensive energy offer centered around electric vehicles.
