What is MQB?
2 Answers
MQB is Volkswagen Group's latest transverse engine modular platform (Modular-Quer-baukasten), abbreviated as MQB. It will replace the current PQ25, PQ35, and PQ46 platforms, and this modular platform will be widely applied across four brands: Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT. Here is detailed information about automotive modules: 1. Automotive Engine Control Module: The automotive engine control module is the core component of engine control. Based on input information from various sensors, it controls the engine's fuel injection and ignition timing, and provides optimal control commands for other output devices. 2. Automotive Ignition Module: The automotive ignition module, also known as the ignition controller, can achieve automatic ignition, flame indication, flameout alarm, and signal transmission by selecting the appropriate combination of metal probes or UV-sensitive tubes according to different environmental requirements.
MQB is a shared chassis platform developed by the Volkswagen Group. You can think of it as the basic skeleton of a car, used across various models from the Golf to the Audi A3 and Tiguan. It might sound a bit technical, but consider this: it allows manufacturers to standardize design and production processes, with obvious benefits. As someone who loves tinkering with cars, I've seen how MQB uses a modular approach to reduce the variety of parts: one chassis can accommodate different bodies or engines, and its lightweight design improves fuel efficiency. My family owns a Golf, which feels stable and agile to drive, and repairs are easier because parts are highly compatible. Plus, MQB is evolving—now even electric vehicles like the ID.4 use an improved version. Simply put, it not only cuts costs for automakers but also makes new cars more affordable for you and me.
