Volkswagen and Mahindra & Mahindra are exploring the use of MEB electric components for Mahindra’s new “Born Electric Platform,” Mahindra said in a statement on Thursday. The two companies signed a partnering agreement on Wednesday to evaluate the scope of collaboration, the statement said.

Designed as an open vehicle platform, the MEB electric platform and its components allow car manufacturers to build their portfolio of electrified vehicles, quickly and cost-effectively.
