MQB
On the other hand, application MQB platform will also change the traditional concept of automobile production line. With the help of the new platform, Volkswagen and Audi future MQB and MLB only need to distinguish between two different product lines can be, which will greatly enhance the mass production line of flexible and flexibility in the production of vehicle. In the foreseeable future, even the Audi TT and two golf this appearance, performance differences are significant models can also be modular platform with the help of technology, to easily achieve a total production line.
