The MEB platform is part of a Volkswagen strategy to start production of new battery electric vehicles between 2019 and 2025. As of May 2018, the VW Group had committed in electric-vehicle batteries supplies and announced plans to outfit 16 factories to build electric cars by the end of 2022. The Volkswagen-branded production cars started to be assembled in VW's Volkswagen Zwickau-Mosel Plant in Germany for the European market at the end of 2019, while two plants in North America and China started production in 2020 and Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2022. The Škoda-branded SUV Enyaq is produced in the Škoda plant in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, along with electric motors and electric car batteries. , two types of the MEB platform were slated to be developed: one for passenger vehicles and one for utility automobiles that accommodate heavier cargo. VW also stated that the platform would be available for procurement to competitor manufacturers. Ford Motor Company has a strategic partnership with Volkswagen for the MEB platform to benefit from economies of scale. As of mid-2024, Ford is building MEB-based Ford Explorer vehicles in Cologne.

Rear axle APP 310 The MEB platform is supported by the APP 310 electric motor, which is a permanent magnet brushless motor. Fully developed by Volkswagen, the name "APP" derives from the arrangement of the motor and the gearbox in parallel with the axle, while "310" references its maximum torque of . Maximum torque is achieved at a low engine speed, which means that a 1-speed gearbox is sufficient for the entire rotational speed range. Together with the gearbox, the motor weighs only around . The motor is produced at component sites in Kassel, Germany and Tianjin, China, while the rotor and stator are produced in Italy by Eurotranciatura S.p.a.. APP 550 The APP 550 was unveiled in April 2023 and delivers , as the naming scheme suggests. It is the same size as the APP 310. According to a press release the efficiency has been increased through an improved inverter. Optional Front axle All-wheel drive models are equipped with an auxiliary front axle motor. This motor is a 3-phase AC induction motor. It is only used when needed for acceleration or handling. It is purchased from a Magna subsidiary. == Production numbers ==
