The Volkswagen brand is one of the world’s most successful volume carmakers. The Group’s core brand maintains facilities in 14 countries, where it produces vehicles for customers in more than 150 nations.
Volkswagen Passenger Cars delivered a record 6.2 million vehicles worldwide in 2018 (+0.2%). The Volkswagen Passenger Cars vision is “Moving people and driving them forwards”. The “TRANSFORM 2025+” strategy therefore centers on a global model initiative through which the brand aims to lead innovation, technology and quality in the volume segment. Volkswagen Passenger Cars celebrated the world premiere of the
new Touareg in the reporting year. With its expressive design, its extensive equipment, high-quality materials and top-class craftsmanship,
it occupies a top position in the premium SUV segment. The brand also presented the T-Cross, a versatile, practical and urban crossover model,
which is set to launch in 2019. In addition, it unveiled the ID.
VIZZION concept car, the electric-driven ID. family's new flagship. The saloon car of tomorrow is self-driving, effortless to operate thanks to
augmented reality, and capable of learning through artificial intelligence.
In September 2018, Volkswagen gave media representatives
from all around the world a first glimpse of its platform strategy for electric vehicles. The aim of the Modular Electric Drive Toolkit (MEB)
is to translate electric mobility into mass mobility at affordable prices. The all-electric ID. family based on the MEB will be
manufactured in Zwickau from late 2019. Vehicles with all-electric drive will also roll off the assembly line in Emden.
