Which car brand does Xpeng collaborate with?

Xpeng Motors is a product under Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. Here is a relevant introduction to Xpeng Motors: 1. Pure Electric Drive System: Xpeng Motors' pure electric drive system is centered around the motor, battery, and electronic control. The motor controller, DCDC, and charger are placed in the front compartment, while the battery system is positioned beneath the floor of the passenger compartment. The initial version of Xpeng Motors' motor achieves a power density of 10kW/L, with a target of 14.5kW/L, surpassing the domestic average by more than double. In terms of batteries, Xpeng's battery pack has undergone four iterations of development, with an energy density close to 150Wh/kg. Unlike most domestic electric vehicle battery packs that use natural or air cooling, Xpeng Motors has designed a liquid-cooled battery pack. After exposure tests, it can maintain an output power of over 200kW while keeping the temperature rise within 10 degrees, effectively solving the issue of battery temperature rise. 2. Intelligent System: Xpeng Motors' intelligent system is centered around a large central control screen, which serves as an internet gateway and terminal but is more importantly an intelligent platform. The large central control screen replaces traditional physical buttons with a series of virtual buttons. Xpeng's intelligent control system focuses on the smart control of the vehicle itself, rather than simple internet entertainment. Through the central control screen, users can conveniently adjust the steering wheel position, seat position, light switches, window controls, air conditioning settings, and more. It also allows for the selection of driving styles, adjustment of chassis stiffness, and regulation of braking energy recovery intensity, among other features.
I've been following the automotive industry for years, and the collaboration between XPeng and Volkswagen has been a hot topic recently. As part of the technical analysis, they announced a strategic alliance in 2024, focusing on the electric vehicle sector. Volkswagen will adopt XPeng's G9 platform to develop new vehicles, sharing supply chains and intelligent driving technologies. This allows both parties to complement each other: Volkswagen's global manufacturing experience and XPeng's local innovation. It may accelerate the launch of high-performance models, such as optimizing battery efficiency and autonomous driving features. Additionally, the collaboration involves procurement and production coordination, which can reduce development costs and drive deeper electrification transformation. I believe this is a significant step for technology integration, signaling the emergence of more efficient solutions.
