SECTION A (PRODUCT, COMPANY, & INDUSTRY INFORMATION) For each section, please answer all questions completely within the appropriate box provided. (There is a continuation page provided at the end of this section, if needed.) Submission of incomplete or inaccurate information may delay the processing of your application. ' APPLICATION LETTER A1. Your application must include a letter identifying your company and summarizing

the zone site(s) to be used, proposed FTZ manufacturing activity, and why approval of that activity would be beneficial for the United States overall. The letter must be currently dated and signed by an authorized officer of the grantee or operator.

A letter of transmittal is attached.

' TYPE OF AUTHORITY BEING REQUESTED A2. At this time, are you submitting a request for temporary/interim manufacturing

authority? Yes X No (If yes, also complete and submit Section B).

A3. At this time, are you submitting a request for permanent authority for

manufacturing? Yes X No ___ (If yes, also complete and submit Section C [and Section D, if applicable]).

' COMPANY, SOURCING, MARKET, AND INDUSTRY INFORMATION: Answer these questions completely based on the information available to you. (You may rely on your expert knowledge of the industry in addition to traditional, published resources.) A4. Explain in detail why approval of your proposed FTZ manufacturing authority

would be beneficial overall to the United States:

Foreign-trade zone operations will help create an environment for increased

international trade and related investment in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Chattanooga has

an estimated population of 170,000 people. Zone status and manufacturing authority for

VW will compliment the region’s goal of promoting international business. Additional

information regarding Chattanooga is attached as Exhibit A.

VW has made a significant investment at the zone site. The investment is

estimated at $1 billion. The facility is projected to have 2,000 employees working at the

3

facility with an annual payroll of approximately $511 million. The continued success of

the zone could spur additional expansion and employment.

The establishment, retention and support of the VW operations in Chattanooga is

important to surrounding new businesses, such as vehicle parts suppliers. Indirect

employment as a result of the new facility or elsewhere; could generate a total of 9,477

jobs according to the University of Tennessee’s Center for Business and Economic

Research. The same organization projects indirect employment could increase by 9,500

people in the future with $12 billion in payroll over the lifetime of the project. New tax

revenue for local and state entities could total $1.399 billion. A copy of the study is

attached as Exhibit B.

The benefits of establishing and retaining the VW facility are numerous in

addition to the employment and payroll expenditures in the community. VW may export

20% of the motor vehicles assembled at the Chattanooga facility. These exports will be a

significant addition to the level of international trade in the State of Tennessee. In 2008,

Tennessee exports totaled $23.2 billion, representing an increase of 6.3% over 2007

totals. Tennessee ranked 17th in exports.

A5. Describe problems, challenges or strengths facing your company and the U.S. industry.

(For example, have production, employment, and operating profits been falling or rising? Have there been changes in the cost of raw materials? Address any other relevant factors.)

The U.S. vehicle assembly industry faces increased challenges in maintaining

competitiveness in the global economy. As the worst recession in the postwar era

continues, consumer purchases have decreased. It is expected that consumers will

continue to retain automobiles for a longer period of time.

Increased costs for materials, components, labor, transportation, and production

costs have made this challenge more difficult in recent years. Companies such as

Volkswagen have multiple worldwide production facilities. Volkswagen has

4

manufacturing facilities in twenty-one (21) countries. Vehicles can be assembled in other

countries with lower labor costs and imported into the United States; NAFTA-qualified

motor vehicles assembled in Mexico and Canada are imported into the United States

customs duty free. Imported vehicles account for 25% of the U.S. vehicle market.

VW has begun construction of a vehicle assembly plant in Chattanooga,

Tennessee. VW is establishing the Chattanooga facility in this difficult economic time

when purchases of vehicles have declined by 33.3% versus sales at this time last year.

VW and its domestic suppliers face increased costs and reduced consumer purchases in

vehicles. Manufacturing authority under zone procedures will assist the Chattanooga

operation to assemble vehicles in the United States and better compete globally by

lowering the costs of operation. This number of units is expected to increase as the types

of products to be assembled in the United States will create more interest in the

Company’s vehicles due to their energy efficiency.

The decision to build this new facility during these challenging economic times is

a significant step forward in achieving the VW’s goal of selling 800,000 vehicles in the

United States by 2018. Additional information regarding the Volkswagen Group is

included in Exhibit C.

A6. List total employment company-wide: 373,400 employees A7. List total employment at your proposed FTZ manufacturing plant: 2,000

employees A8. How has your company's and plant's employment changed in the last 5 years?

The plant is under construction. It is expected to employ 2,000 people upon

opening. The Volkswagen Group’s worldwide employment has increased over the last

five years; decreases have occurred recently. The Volkswagen Group’s current

worldwide employment totals 373,400 people.

A9. Will FTZ-related savings likely lead to increased, stable, or decreased employment at your plant? Explain:

5

FTZ-related savings will lead to increased employment by the Company. The

Chattanooga facility has sufficient land for future expansions based upon market

conditions which would lead to increased employment as more vehicles are made in the

United States. As VW suppliers locate to the Chattanooga area, new indirect

employment in the area will occur.

A10. Briefly describe the specific manufacturing activity which you are seeking to conduct under FTZ procedures. (You will provide more detailed information relating to your requested FTZ manufacturing authority in the "Products and Components" section below.)

VW is manufacturing motor vehicles for shipment to the U.S. market and export

destinations. Manufacturing will include finished vehicles as well as subassemblies and

components of the vehicles. The proposed operations include activities such as body

welding, painting, assembly, testing, processing, and warehousing. Body stamping will

occur in Phase 2 to support increased production when market conditions warrant.

Initial imported components will consist of the following:

2.5% 2.5%

A11. Does your company have other plants in the U.S. or overseas that conduct the same activity or similar activity? (If yes to either, please list the other plants' locations and explain.)

Yes, the Volkswagen Group has sixty-one (61) manufacturing plants in twenty-

one (21) countries. Locations include: Wolfsburg, Hanover, Braunschweig, Kassel,

Emden, and Salzgitter, Germany; Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina; Poznan and Polkowice,

Poland; Kaluga, Russia; Bratislava and Martin, Slovak Republic; Pamplona, Spain;

Puebla, Mexico; Cordoba and Pacheco, Argentina; Anchieta, Cuitiba, Resende, Sao

Carlos, and Taubate, Brazil; Uitenhage, South Africa; Shanghai, Nanjing, Changchun,

Chengdu, and Dalian, China. Several of these plants manufacture midsize sedans that are

similar to the vehicles to be produced in the Chattanooga facility. Around the world, over

370,000 employees produce more than 26,600 vehicles or are involved in vehicle-related

services each working day. The Volkswagen Group sells in excess of 6.3 million

vehicles in more than 150 countries per year.

A12. What is the percent of U.S. value added (i.e., the difference between the value of foreign components received at the plant and the value of finished products shipped from the plant) for the products you want to produce under FTZ procedures? 75%

A13. By value, what percent of your production inputs are imported? 25% A14. Are the components that you purchase from abroad also available from U.S.

suppliers (if yes, why are you unable to obtain those components domestically)? Explain.

7

Major efforts are being made to source a significant percentage of components in

the United States. Many of the components purchased from foreign countries are made at

specific Volkswagen manufacturing facilities or facilities of long-time VW suppliers that

have met VW quality and specification requirements. These suppliers are currently

located only overseas. It is expected that some of these suppliers will shift operations

into the United States to be in close proximity to the Chattanooga facility. The general-

purpose zone site was created to allow sufficient space for key suppliers to locate in close

proximity to VW’s operations.

A15. Will FTZ -related savings affect your company's purchasing patterns? Explain.

FTZ-related savings will not affect VW’s purchasing patterns. However, zone

procedures and resulting cost savings will support the continued purchases of domestic

components from existing U.S. suppliers and foreign suppliers that located operations in

the United States. This would increase domestic purchases in the future.

A16. What is the current annual production capacity at the plant for which you are seeking FTZ authority? Are there any planned capacity changes? (Indicate the units of measure used.)

The Chattanooga facility will initially manufacture 150,000 vehicles per year.

Production is scheduled to begin in early 2011. The production capacity could be

expanded to 300,000 vehicles per year with additional market demand.

A17. What is your company's current share of the U.S. market for the type of products you want to make under FTZ procedures? 1.9% (approximate)

A18. List your major competitors in the U.S. market and their approximate U.S. market

shares.

The U.S. vehicle (automobile) market is led by Toyota with 19.9% of the market

followed by:

Company Market Share

General Motors 18.4%

8

Honda 12.9% Ford 10.5% Nissan 8.7% Hyundai/Kia 6.4% Chrysler 6.0% Porsche 4.3% BMW 3.7% Mazda 2.9% Daimler / Mercedes 2.7% Volkswagen 1.9%

All other competitors comprise a smaller market share that is less that 1% of this market.

These companies combined make up 1.7% of the market.

A19. Are your competitors producing in the U.S. or abroad? Explain and give specific examples.

Competitors are producing abroad and in the United States. The new

Chattanooga facility will also compete with sixty-one (61) Volkswagen facilities globally

for future production opportunities.

As previously mentioned, the vehicle industry is one of the most globalized. All

major global producers have significant activities in the United States and overseas.

Granting manufacturing authority status to Volkswagen facilities for vehicle assembly

will not be a case of first impression for the Foreign-Trade Zones Board. A significant

number of firms in the vehicle assembly industry have already secured foreign-trade

subzone status, including:

Many of the domestic manufacturing facilities approved as subzones have activated and

subsequently ceased operations. For example, Volkswagen of America, Inc. secured

subzone status for its New Stanton, PA facility on November 9, 1977. This operation

was active until 1988.

A20. What is imports' share of the U.S. market for the type of products you want to make under FTZ procedures?

25%-40% (approximate) A21. Has imports' share of the U.S. market changed in the past 5-10 years? How? Why?

The level of imports for the U.S. market have increased as new foreign market

participants have increased their market shares. Imports of light vehicles increased from

30% of the market in 1994 to 39% in 2005.

A22. How would approval of your proposed FTZ manufacturing affect your domestic competitors?

12

The proposed operation would not impact any domestic competitor operations

that have the same opportunity available to secure authority in general-purpose zones or

subzones. As listed in the answer to A9 above the major vehicle assembly operations in

the United States have already secured zone status.

The granting of foreign-trade zone manufacturing authority to Volkswagen’s

facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee will not have any adverse effect on the domestic

industry and/or current suppliers of the Company.

A23. Are the purchasing patterns of competing domestic manufacturers similar to your company's?

Yes. Many vehicles are made in overseas locations and imported into the United

States. While VW does not have access to specific information on domestic competitors

purchasing patterns, it is estimated that purchasing patterns are similar.

A24. If you are granted authority to manufacture under FTZ procedures, would the other U.S. manufacturers be likely to seek access to zone procedures? Explain.

Authority is requested for vehicle manufacturing. Other U.S. companies have

utilized the Foreign-Trade Zones program to manufacture vehicles. According to the

latest Foreign-Trade Zones Board Annual Report to Congress (FY 2007) Motor Vehicles

accounted for $10 billion worth of merchandise in general-purpose zones. Motor

Vehicles were the highest-ranking category of products in general-purpose zones ranked

by dollar value. Subzones assembling motor vehicles accounted for $2.5 billion worth of

merchandise.

The Chattanooga zone site established a sufficient number of acres to

accommodate both Volkswagen and its current Tier-1 suppliers. As suppliers locate to

the site, requests for authority to manufacture components under zone procedures may

occur.

A25. What are the competitive factors in your industry? Any other factors unique to your industry?

13

In 2008, worldwide automobile sales decreased by 5.2% to 67.7 million cars. The U.S.

motor vehicle manufacturing industry is highly concentrated. U.S. passenger vehicle production

including light trucks accounts for more than 97% of total motor vehicle production in the

United States, with foreign-based automakers accounting for a growing share of United States

production. The remaining 3% of the motor vehicle market consists of production of medium

and heavy duty trucks and buses by a variety of companies.

World production has shifted away from the United States. In 2008, traditional U.S.

companies, the Big Three, General Motors (GM), Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Chrysler

accounted for 18.7% of world passenger and commercial vehicle production. Japanese

automakers Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru-Isuzu, and Toyota accounted for 16.7% of the

world production. Western European production accounted for 22.1% while the rest of the

world, including China, accounted for 42.5% of product.

Japanese automakers began production in the United States to produce cars physically

nearer to their market and to avoid import constraints on Japanese exports to the United States.

Local production allows foreign manufacturers to remain responsive to U.S. market

developments, alleviate potential trade friction and dramatically reduce transportation costs.

German automakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz adopted this strategy in the 1990’s with

production beginning in their newly established plants in South Carolina in 1994 and Alabama in

1997, respectively. The Korean industry through Hyundai have followed the same pattern and

established a facility in Alabama and Kia has a pending Application in Georgia.

Competition factors have led to many trends in production. Trends in vehicle production

include lean manufacturing, just-in-time, six sigma and flexible manufacturing. Lean

Manufacturing requires a company to create an ongoing effort to improve the quality of the

product and refine the production process to improve efficiency. This demands the elimination

of waste by uncovering inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the production system. A just-in-time

14

system is where suppliers are responsible for delivering only the parts that are needed, when they

are needed, to the assembly line. Just-in-time systems support the lean manufacturing effort by

reducing costs of operations through reduced on hand inventory. Six sigma is another

manufacturing technique designed to eliminate defects in any process. Companies have used this

process to examine customer complaints and identify variations in parts and/or processes that

may be at the root of the problem. Flexible manufacturing allows automakers to shift production

of vehicles among any of its global plant to account for changes in demand in certain markets.

Exports from the United States to other countries continue to be generally at a modest

level; however, some firms have developed a business model with up to fifty (50) percent of U.S.

production being exported. Companies with manufacturing facilities in the United States have a

manufacturing and market presence in many countries which reduces the need to export vehicles

made in the United States to overseas markets. Many countries have significant trade barriers

and tariffs on motor vehicles which make it less attractive to source from the United States.

However, according to a United States Department of Commerce, Office of Automotive Affairs

April 2005 Report Entitled, The Road Ahead for the U.S. Auto Industry, exports have increased

over time. Shipments of new passenger vehicles and light trucks from the United States

increased by 65% between 1989 and 2003. The approval of manufacturing authority for this VW

Chattanooga production operation will enhance its ability to compete in export markets.

A26. What percent of your production of the products you want to make under FTZ procedures is sold to export markets?

20% (approximate) A27. Do you know your approximate share of the world-wide market for the products

you want to make under FTZ procedures? Yes _X_ No If yes, list it: 10.3% A28. List your major competitors in the world market and their approximate world

market shares.

Major competitors in the market are similar to the companies listed in the answer

to A17. Volkswagen is the third largest vehicle manufacturer in the world. The

following is a breakdown of companies in the world market.

A29. Briefly describe your company's background and current situation (including annual sales value or other indicator(s) of company's size and scope of operations).

The Volkswagen Group is the third largest automobile manufacturer in the world,

with sixty-one (61) manufacturing plants in twenty-one (21) countries worldwide. The

Volkswagen Group’s worldwide annual revenues totaled $225.5 billion. The company

sells in excess of 6.3 million vehicles per year in more than 150 countries. Around the

world, nearly 370,000 employees produce more than 26,600 vehicles or are involved in

vehicle-related services each working day. The U.S. headquarters for Volkswagen Group

of America is located in Herndon, Virginia. Volkswagen Group’s world headquarters is

located in Wolfsburg, Germany.

The Volkswagen group is made up of nine brands from seven European countries:

Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Scania, SEAT, Skoda and

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. Each brand has its own character and operates as an

independent entity on the market. The product range extends from low-consumption

16

small cars to luxury and high-performance vehicles. In the commercial vehicle sector,

the product offering spans pickups, buses, and heavy trucks.

It is the goal of the Volkswagen Group to offer attractive, safe and

environmentally sound vehicles which are competitive in an increasingly tough market

and which set world standards in their respective classes.

In the United States, the Volkswagen Group of America operates corporate

research, development and technical facilities in Arizona, California and New Jersey;

ports and post production facilities in California, Georgia, Rhode Island and Texas; parts

distribution centers in Illinois, New Jersey, and Oregon. In Tennessee, construction has

begun on a new production plant, where production is expected to begin in 2011.

A30. Please list the main internet address(es) for information about your company and product(s).

The Volkswagen Group’s website is located at http://www.vw.com and the U.S.

' FTZ-RELATED SAVINGS: A32. What are the total estimated annual FTZ-related savings associated with the

proposed activity you are describing in this application:

The total estimated foreign-trade zone savings on an annual basis is

approximately $1.9 million.

A33. Provide the percentage breakdown for those savings into the following categories:

Logistical/Paperwork1 27% Inverted Tariff 55%

Exports 16% Duty Deferral 1% Scrap/Waste .5%

A34. Provide any additional explanation or special features of the above savings that may

be relevant to the review or implementation of zone procedures (e.g., formulas, Customs rulings, scrap as percentage of imported product).

The facility operations will be substantially similar to all other motor vehicle

assembly plants. The export savings are reduced by the volume of sales to Canada and

Mexico that require NAFTA duty deferral payments. Certain purchases of production

machinery from foreign vendors will occur. While every effort will be made to purchase

from U.S. sources, a significant amount of highly specialized equipment is only available

from overseas manufacturers. The Foreign-Trade Zones Act (19 U.S.C. § 81) was

amended by the passage of H.R. 3815 (P.L. 104-295) which added a section to the Act to

allow the deferral of Customs entry until such equipment is assembled, tested and utilized

for full-scale operation of the product for which it is imported.

A35. Provide an estimated cost figure for operating your proposed FTZ manufacturing facility each year. (Components of your annual operating cost could include record keeping/inventory control, fees to the zone grantee, etc.) $300,000 per year.

1 e.g., Merchandise Processing Fee, broker/handling fees, weekly entry

' PRODUCTS AND COMPONENTS A37. Describe in detail the specific manufacturing activity B including the main products

and components B which you are seeking to conduct under FTZ procedures.

VW is manufacturing vehicles for shipment to the U.S. market and export

destinations. The initial vehicle to be manufactured is a new mid-sized sedan. Initial

volume is expected to be 150,000 units. Manufacturing will include finished vehicles as

well as subassemblies and components of the vehicles. The proposed initial operations

include activities such as body welding, painting, assembly, testing, processing, and

warehousing. Body stamping will occur in Phase 2 of production as market conditions

warrant increased production capacity. The primary initial imported components are

listed in a table at question A.10. The operations will occur in 8 buildings totaling

2,122,354 square feet on 1,187 acres. The facility may be expanded, if market conditions

create a demand for 300,000 units, to include expansion of initial buildings and new

buildings by 2,867,620 square feet in the same area for a total of 4,989,974 square feet.

' SIMILARITY OF PROPOSAL TO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ACTIVITY

21

B4. If all of your finished products and inputs are identical (full six-digit HTSUS

matches) to finished product and input combinations in the T/IM database, you may skip this section. Otherwise, please answer these questions in detail:

a. Industry-Sector Similarity: Explain the degree of similarity of your

proposed manufacturing activity under T/IM procedures (the finished products and associated inputs you have listed above) to approved activity listed in the T/IM database (finished product and input combinations). Make reference to specific approvals and the six-digit HTSUS numbers -- for both finished products and components -- associated with those approvals. Is the industry situation the same? How similar are the finished-product competitors and the population of suppliers of production inputs?

b. Finished Product/Input-Specific Similarity: For each finished product (or

input) for which there is no six-digit HTSUS match in the T/IM database, explain its technical and functional relationship to one or more already approved finished products (or inputs, respectively) in the database. For example: How do the technical specifications differ? Are the end uses the same or similar? Are the production techniques the same or similar? Does the product/input tend to be sourced from the same producers and countries as the most similar approved product(s)/input(s)? Do they have the same tariff rates? Explain.

SECTION C (PRIMARY SCOPE FOR PERMANENT AUTHORITY) The information in this section is for the "primary" scope of finished products and imported components/ inputs if you wish to conduct activity under permanent FTZ authority. Your primary scope should only include: 1) the range of finished products and foreign-status inputs that your company plans to use in manufacturing under FTZ procedures and 2) finished products and foreign-sourced inputs that you believe that there is a significant likelihood that your company will need to use for FTZ manufacturing. ' SIMULTANEOUS TEMPORARY/INTERIM AND PERMANENT APPLICATIONS C1.

a. Are you simultaneously submitting a request for temporary/interim authority (with a scope listed in Section "B")? Yes _X_ No .

b. If you checked "Yes," do you wish to include the products and inputs for

which you are requesting temporary/interim authority in your application for permanent authority? Yes _X No ___ (If you checked yes, you do not need to list those products and inputs again in this section. You only need to list below the additional products and inputs for which you are seeking permanent authority.)

' FINISHED PRODUCTS

22

C2. For each product for which you are requesting permanent manufacturing authority,

list the: physical description (not HTSUS description); HTSUS number (six-digit); and duty rate.

A list of finished products (six-digit HTSUS) is attached in Exhibit E. ' INPUTS C3. For each foreign-sourced input for which you are requesting permanent

manufacturing authority, list the: physical description (not HTSUS description); HTSUS number (six-digit); and duty rate.

A list of inputs (six-digit HTSUS) is attached in Exhibit E.

SECTION D (OPTIONAL SECONDARY SCOPE) You may complete this optional section to establish a "secondary" scope of finished products and imported components/inputs for which your company has no current manufacturing plans but which it may ultimately need to use in manufacturing under FTZ procedures. The intent of allowing a secondary scope is to give companies short-term flexibility to react quickly to new marketplace opportunities. As such, you would be able to use products and inputs from your secondary scope without limitation as soon as you submit to the FTZ Board an application for "expansion of authority" for those products (Note: there is a simple form for that application). In the absence of an expansion application, products and components listed in the secondary scope should not account for a significant amount of your company's FTZ-related savings. ' ACCEPTANCE OF LIMITATIONS OF SECONDARY SCOPE D1. Do you understand that the finished products and inputs listed in this section as a

secondary scope: 1) are not items for which your company currently has definite plans for manufacturing under FTZ procedures and 2) may not constitute a significant amount of the company's overall FTZ savings (unless the company has submitted an application to the FTZ Board to expand its primary scope to include the products and components at issue)? Yes X No ___

' FINISHED PRODUCTS D2. For each product for your secondary scope for permanent manufacturing authority,

list the: physical description (not HTSUS description); HTSUS number (four-digit); and duty rate.

A list of finished products (four-digit HTSUS) is attached in Exhibit F.

' INPUTS

Each brand has its own character and operates as an in­dependent entity on the market. The product range extends from low­consumption small cars to luxury class vehicles. In the commercial vehicle sector, the product offering spans pick ups, buses and heavy trucks.

The Group operates 61 production plants in fifteen European countries and a further six countries in the Americas, Asia and Africa. Around the world, nearly 370,000 employees produce more than 26,600 vehicles or are involved in vehicle­related services each working day. The Volkswagen Group sells its vehicles in more than 150 countries.

It is the goal of the Group to offer attractive, safe and environmentally sound vehicles which are competitive on an increasingly tough market and which set world standards in their respective classes.

T H E V O L K S WA G E N G R O U P�

The Volkswagen Group with its headquarters in Wolfsburg is one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers and the largest carmaker in Europe. In 2008, the Group increased the number of vehicles delivered to customers to 6.257 million (2007: 6.190 million), corresponding to a 10.3 percent share of the world passenger car market.

May 28, 1937“Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH” is established in Berlin.

Early 1938 Construction of the Volkswagen plant east of Fallersleben be­gins.

September 16, 1938 The company name is changed to “Volkswagenwerk GmbH”.

Between 1939 and 1945, the Volkswagen plant is re­organized for the production of armaments rather than the production of civilian vehicles. The expanding armaments out­put of the plant after summer 1940 leads the company to meet most of its labour needs by using forced labour from abroad. In late summer 1944, almost two thirds of the 18,000­strong workforce is made up of foreign forced labourers.

April 11, 1945 The American troops who enter the town put an end to the pro­duction of military equipment and liberate the forced labourers.

��H I S T O R I C A L N OT E S

Ferdinand Porsche’s blue­print turned the dream of automotive mobility for the masses into a “people’s car”. The automobile laid the foundation for a com­pany which rapidly acquired international significance after the Second World War.

The motor of the “Wirtschafts­wunder“ was air­cooled and fitted at the rear of a car whose distinctive silhouette made Volkswagen a household name all over the world, just as the Transporter launched in 1950 became a much­loved work­horse and camper.

Numerous production facilities outside Europe were already being set up in the 1950s to bring the automaker closer to the customer.

Having evolved into a German automotive group with the acquisition of “Auto Union GmbH” and “NSU Motoren­werke AG” in the 1960s, the dynamic market success of the Passat, Golf and Polo post­1973 triggered further corporate growth towards a multi­brand group: SEAT and Skoda were added in 1985 and 1991, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti in 1998.

The brands “Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles” and Scania, that was acquired in 2008, with factories in Europe, Africa and South America pro­vide a differentiated range of products spanning city vans, trucks and busses to suit the most diverse mobility require­ments.

The financial services pro­vided by Volkswagen Financial Services AG, a company whose roots go back as far as 1949, also contribute to the automo­tive success of the Volkswagen Group.

Founded on strong brands, the Volkswagen Group continues its successful automotive tradi­tion with fascinating products; each year, the Group’s custom­ers take delivery of over six mil­lion new vehicles.
