Objectives of the current presentation
April 11, 2014 8
Objectives (1/2)
The competition is very fierce in the automotive industry. Many factors contribute to the success or failures of carmakers’ strategies. Control of technologies is a key component of carmakers’ strategies.
It contributes strongly to:
The design and engineering of vehicles responding better to the demand.
The reduction of cost.
A vehicle is composed of many components grouped together in different manners.
In the recent decade a new word has been put on the front of the communication : the platform. Many carmakers communicate today about its new platforms, much more efficient than the previous ones.
However several questions arise
What is really a platform?
Do the carmakers really reduce the number of their platforms?
Do some carmakers control the design and engineering of platforms better than other ones? And will this control give them significant strategic advantages versus competitors?
Or is it mainly communication?
April 11, 2014 9
Objectives (2/2)
Automotive industry is a very competitive one. Competition has still increased over the last 10 years with an enhanced globalisation. In order to face this competition, carmakers: Develop their offer by:
• Adding versions to their range of models (e.g. SUV, crossovers, …) • Adapting the design of the cars to the specific demand of the different countries where they sell their
products. Decrease the cost of their products by:
• De-contenting them every time that the de-contented products are sufficient for the targeted customers • Decreasing the price of the products:
- By using a systemic approach. - Standardise as much as possible to produce mass volume parts at low cost.
Platform is at the core of the know-how of the carmaker.
Designing sets of efficient platforms at an optimised cost provides those of carmakers which control technologies with very significant advantages versus competition. Many efforts are deployed to develop and engineer optimised platform
The concept of platform varies from one carmaker to the other one. In all cases the platform is an ensemble composed of:
The underbody (which is the structure of the platform).
The systems that are attached to this underbody and that contribute to the mechanical properties of the car, as the suspensions and the powertrain. Considered systems are not the same from one carmaker to another

Standardisation to reduce cost
April 11, 2014 16
The design of a platform needs a systemic approach. The car must comply with a lot of constraints:
Design
• Static (torsion, bending, acoustic)
• Dynamic (front, rear and side crash, small shock, pedestrian safety)
• Mass
• Roominess
Process
• Installed tooling: flexibility
Minimum cost
For cost reduction reasons, it is necessary:
to use a maximum of common parts over a wide range of models and
derivatives. Generally, some basis systems of the car are designed, and then adapted to comply with the specification of a maximum of models.
To standardise the attachments of the modules so that more flexibility is enabled.

Attachment points
• Important design approach
• Standardisation of attachments of modules
• Standardisation of parts
• Assembly flexibility on a same line by using adequate pilot processes
Standardisation of parts and attachments
April 11, 2014 19
Scaling Process
Build models with different models on the basis of the same platform
Not multiply all the dimensions
But keep identical or similar the maximum of parts and keep identical the maximum of fixations (in particular holes used for assemblies)
Change the dimensions of a minimum of parts
Use the same toolings
Stamping tooling to produce parts on demand Example: central floor
Welding and assembly lines
April 11, 2014 20
Standardisation of parts
Underbody: around 100 parts from several grams to 10 kg (including around 30 parts> 1kg)

Do we need a platform concept to reach these objectives? Analysis based on VW
April 11, 2014 25
Do we need a platform concept to reach these objectives?
The options of vehicle design
Option 1
• Each new car is designed separately, without interaction with other cars of the carmaker’s range. It is a very old approach, abandoned by traditional carmakers decades ago. Currently only some Chinese-Chinese carmakers are still in this scheme.
April 11, 2014 26
Option 2 : standardisation into a same segment:
Inside each brand
Across the brands
Option 3: standardisation across segments but using a different code name of platform
for each segment. Option 4: standardisation across segments but using a same code name for the
different segments
Do we need a platform concept to reach these objectives?
April 11, 2014 27
The question is: Is the difference between option 3 and 4 only “Marketing”?
Platforms to be build for a large number of vehicles
Volkswagen Group: several brands – many vehicles in each brand

Advantages and dangers of a platform modular approach
April 11, 2014 37
Advantages and dangers of a platform modular approach
Advantages
Reduce
• Part cost
• The cost of the tooling is spread over a larger number parts
• Development cost
Decrease
• Time to market for new vehicles and/or new versions
Focus R&D on
• Less projects with more means
Dangers
MQB platform can be by default over-designed and over-engineered for some basic segment models (A or B).
Cost of adapting the MQB base to specific projects. It may be more costly to adapt the MQB platform to a new project than to redesign a new platform
First investment and replacement cost of the toolings to adapt them to the new concept
Quality problems due a non-optimised design (due to the MQB platform constraints)
Not being able to take advantage of new developments and technologies coming to the market
April 11, 2014 38
Conclusion
April 11, 2014 39
Conclusion
The platform modular approach is really a way to reduce cost, providing however that it is pushed only to a reasonable extent.
April 11, 2014 40
Attempting to use a too low number of platforms can lead to “acrobatic” adaptations leading to an increase of cost rather than a decrease in cost.
It is difficult to analyse from the production number data by platform the strategic advantage of a carmaker which would result from a better control of modular approach.
Actually information released by carmakers is much based on marketing.
