From 1945 to 1949, the Volkswagen factory was run by British occupation forces. Volkswagen became the focal point of a plan to restore Germany’s car sector, and within a decade, it was producing half of the country’s autos. Ironically, it was British Volkswagen executives who began producing passenger cars rather than military vehicles, making the dream of the people’s automobile a reality. The Volkswagen Group offers an unrivaled selection of automobiles. Over 50 different automotive models from nine different foreign marques give a diversity that can be found nowhere else in the world, and that helps to meet the increasing individuality of client demand in more fragmented markets. A really diverse range of automobiles, distinguished not only by body design and elegance, but also by technology, safety features, and overall quality. From family convertibles to exclusive sports cars, from small vans to mid-weight lorries, today’s range includes everything from subcompact cars with an emphasis on economical three-cylinder engines to luxury limousines that meet the highest demands on performance and prestige; from family convertibles to exclusive sports cars; and from small vans to mid-weight lorries. The search of perfection is a goal shared by all car marques and models, and it is expressed not only in qualities like as driving enjoyment, safety, fuel economy, effective ecology, and competitive costs, but also in the attainment of the highest quality. External, visible-body design features such as extraordinarily narrow body gaps on doors and hoods, as well as a twelve-year corrosion warranty, reflect this commitment to perfection.
