Volkswagen will switch to Group Reference CATIA (GRC) 11.2.8.1, thus releasing VWGRCLite 11.2.8.1.0 for use by the engineering partner.
From April 27, 2026, the new VWGRCLite 11 packages will be available in the Service Portal and can be downloaded.
The Volkswagen internal use of the GRC 11.2.8.1 starts on Monday, May 11th, 2026.
The VWGRCLite 11.2.8.1.0 requires CATIA V5-6R2024 SP03 HF39.
The productive use of the VWGRCLite 11.2.8.1.0 at the partner companies must take place at the same time as the GRC goes live at Volkswagen (May 11th, 2026).
There will be no transition period for the use of the VWGRCLite at the partner companies!
