Modular longitudinal construction kit
The modular longitudinal construction kit , or MLB for short, is a platform concept with a drive train (engine and transmission) from Volkswagen AG that is installed lengthways to the direction of travel . This kit was developed at Audi and has been in use there since 2007.
The advantage of longitudinal engines is the fact that the reaction torques of the engine during load changes do not support the pitching movements of the body caused by the braking and acceleration of the vehicle, but are perpendicular to it, which noticeably increases driving comfort.
The MLB is used alongside other modules:
- The modular gasoline engine kit (MOB) and the modular diesel kit (MDB) are intended to make engine development more efficient.
- The modular production kit (MPB) will be introduced at the same time as the MQB to standardize the production of add-on parts and assemblies in the Volkswagen AG plants.
- The modular infotainment kit (MIB) is responsible for the vehicle electronics.
