Volkswagen AG says its two joint ventures in China will spend a combined €15 billion ($18.3 billion) over the next five years on advanced technologies.
The investments are in addition to the €34 billion ($41.6 billion) VW plans to spend in Germany on the same technologies: electrification, connectivity and autonomous driving systems.
