Andy.

Yes It looks like it's coming to that, VW has said it will sell it's new M.E.B skateboard platform to any car manufacturer who wants to put their metalwork on it and are willing to build their cars for them also.


These mergers are an exercise in joining forces to whoever has the lowest fleet emissions to lessen the fines.








Edit: Forgot to mention prior to the PSA group wanting to buy JLR, JLR were interested in buying Addison Lee a London based taxi business for $350million to buy into the future plans of mobility.



Doesn't make good reading for future private car ownership. https://www.wintonsworld.com/cool-re...-new-mobility/
