The Volkswagen Group with its headquarters in Wolfsburg is
one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers and the
largest carmaker in Europe. In 2012, the Group increased the
number of vehicles delivered to customers to 9.276 million
(2011: 8.265 million), corresponding to a 12.8 percent share
of the world passenger car market.
In Western Europe, almost one in four new cars (24.4 percent)
is made by the Volkswagen Group. Group sales revenue in
2012 totaled €193 billion (2011: €159 billion), while profit
after tax amounted to €21.9 billion (2011: €15.8 billion).
The Group comprises twelve brands from seven European
countries: Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA,
Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles, Scania and MAN.
Each brand has its own character and operates as an in­
dependent entity on the market. The product spectrum ranges
from motorcycles to low-consumption small cars and luxury
vehicles. In the commercial vehicle sector, the products in­
clude ranges from pick-ups, buses and heavy trucks.

ment.

services or other fields of business. The Volks­wagen Group
sells its vehicles in 153 countries.

H I STO R I CA L N OTE S
Ferdinand Porsche’s blue-print
turned the dream of automotive
mobility for the masses into a
“people’s car”. The automobile
laid the foundation for a com­
pany which rapidly acquired
international significance after
the Second World War.
The motor of the “Wirtschafts­
wunder“ was air-cooled 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 much-loved work­
horse 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 Moto­ren­
werke AG” in the 1960s, the
dynamic market success of the
Passat, Golf and Polo post-1973
triggered further corporate
growth towards a multi-brand
group: SEAT and SKODA were
added in 1985 and 1991,
Bentley, Lamborghini and
Bugatti in 1998.
They were joined by the
legendary sports car maker
Porsche AG in 2012. The Group
also welcomed the motorcycle
brand Ducati under its roof.
The Volkswagen Commercial
Vehicles brand, the Scania
brand acquired in 2008 and the
MAN brand which was taken
over in 2012 with factories in
Europe, Africa and South
America provide a differen­
tiated range of products
spanning city vans, trucks and
busses to suit the most diverse
mobility requirements.
The financial services pro­
vided by Volkswagen Financial
Services AG, a company whose
roots go back as far as 1949,
also contribute to the automo­
tive success of the Volkswagen
Group.
Founded on strong brands, the
Volkswagen Group continues
its successful automotive tradi­
tion with fascinating products.
Bolstered by another rise in
unit sales to more than 9 million
vehicles, the Volkswagen Group
remains on course to become
the world’s leading automaker
by 2018 – eco­nomically and
ecologically.

Between 1939 and 1945,
the Volkswagen plant is re­
organized for the production
of arma­ments rather than the
production of civilian vehicles.
The expanding armaments out­
put 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
18,000-strong workforce is
made up of foreign forced
labourers.
April 11, 1945
The American troops who enter
the town put an end to the pro­
duction of military equip­ment
and liberate the forced
labourers.
