Volkswagen Anhui, a joint venture between Volkswagen and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group (JAC) established in 2017, is Volkswagen's first new energy vehicle (NEV)-focused joint venture in China.

The company was initially called Jianghuai Volkswagen Automobile Co Ltd, and at the end of 2020, Volkswagen increased its stake in the company to 75 percent and had the company renamed Volkswagen Anhui.

Volkswagen Anhui built Volkswagen's third MEB (modular electric drive matrix) plant in China and will build pure electric vehicles based on the platform.

On December 30, Anhui Daily reported that Volkswagen Anhui officially put into production the Cupra Tavascan, an all-electric model for export to the European market, and another Volkswagen-branded model for the Chinese market will come off the production line in 2024.

Cupra, a sub-brand of Volkswagen's SEAT brand, unveiled the Tavascan concept in 2019, which is based on the MEB platform.
