  • Volkswagen Group China Divisions
    46 Volkswagen Group China Divisions Volkswagen Group China In the Chinese market, Volkswagen continued to put all its energies into the strategic direction of e-mobility in 2020. The negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on business operations remained limited. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT China remained the largest single market for Volkswagen in 2020. In the Chinese market, the Group offers more than 160 imported and locally produced models from the Volkswagen Passenger Cars, JETTA, Audi, ŠKODA, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, MAN, and Scania brands as well as motorcycles by the Ducati brand. At 3.8 (4.2) million units (including imports), we delivered fewer vehicles to customers in 2020 than in the previous year in a Chinese market distinctly weakened by the pandemic. However, the Volkswagen Group remained the clear number one with Chinese customers with a market share of 19.3%. New models achieved a good market performance, including the new Volkswagen Passenger Cars flagship Touareg e-hybrid, the Viloran, the JETTA SUV VS7, the Porsche Taycan and the Audi Q2 and Q3 models. The new Tayron and Tharu models quickly took the lead in the A-SUV market. As part of the SUV campaign, we launched ten new models in 2020. They contributed to increased deliveries in the SUV segment and helped us to maintain our number one position. The new energy vehicle (NEV) segment was the fastest growing segment in China in 2020. The seven new NEV models increased the Group’s portfolio to 22 electrified models in China. The premium brands Audi, Porsche and Bentley again delivered strong sales figures, and the young entry-level brand JETTA also attracted a large number of customers in its first full year of sales.

    Shaping the transformation together. Carsten Isensee Executive Vice President Finance, Volkswagen Group China Morgan Stanley 4th Annual China Summit, Beijing, 1 June 2018 Disclaimer The following presentations contain forward-looking statements and information on the business development of the Volkswagen Group. These statements may be spoken or written and can be recognized by terms such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “will” or words with similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions, which we have made on the basis of the information available to us and which we consider to be realistic at the time of going to press. These assumptions relate in particular to the development of the economies of individual countries and markets, the regulatory framework and the development of the automotive industry. Therefore, the estimates given involve a degree of risk, and the actual developments may differ from those forecast. The Volkswagen Group currently faces additional risks and uncertainty related to pending claims and investigations of Volkswagen Group members in a number of jurisdictions in connection with findings of irregularities relating to exhaust emissions from diesel engines in certain Volkswagen Group vehicles. The degree to which the Volkswagen Group may be negatively affected by these ongoing claims and investigations remains uncertain. Consequently, a negative impact relating to ongoing claims or investigations, any unexpected fall in demand or economic stagnation in our key sales markets, such as in Western Europe (and especially Germany) or in the USA, Brazil or China, will have a corresponding impact on the development of our business. The same applies in the event of a significant shift in current exchange rates in particular relative to the US dollar, sterling, yen, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi and Czech koruna.

  • Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: the Social Construction of Success
    Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: The Social Construction of Success Xiaolan Qiu Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science and Technology Studies Timothy W. Luke (Chair) Daniel Breslau Ellsworth Fuhrman Saul Halfon February 13, 2012 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Volkswagen, Shanghai-Volkswagen, technology policy, sociology of technology, China Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: The Social Construction of Success Xiaolan Qiu ABSTRACT Volkswagen (VW) is one of the first foreign carmakers that made direct investments in China after 1978. From its entry in the Chinese market to the year of 2009, VW enjoyed popularity, high reputation, and undisputed leadership in the Chinese passenger car market, and achieved a great commercial success. Most previous accounts attribute VW’s success in China to VW’s wise business operation or Chinese government’s support. This study guided by the methods and theories of technology studies, especially the actor- network theory (ANT), takes into account technical, socioeconomic, political, or cultural factors simultaneously. By selecting one of VW’s successful joint ventures with China – Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) – as a case to do in-depth investigation, it examines the relationship between heterogeneous actors (both humans and nonhumans) and the pathways of SVW development, and has found that all of the SVW establishment, production, marketing, and development were shaped by a range of diverse social and material actors, including the central planners, local government, VW, local suppliers, Chinese consumers, and VW cars, and depended on Chinese particular political and cultural context; VW’s success in China presents a story of co-construction of power and actor-networks.

  • VW Defeat Devices: a Comparison of U.S
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING DECEMBER 2017 VW defeat devices: A comparison of U.S. and EU required fixes With the recent announcement in the United States of a fix for various Volkswagen Group models with 3.0L V6 diesel engines, regulators have defined required emissions- system modifications for almost all VW diesel engines in the U.S. market. That makes this a good time to step back and compare the modifications required by U.S. and EU authorities. The data continues to support earlier findings that enforcement in the United States is far more effective and stringent than in Europe.1 The fixes discussed in this paper specifically relate to the defeat devices that VW embedded in its software calibrations for all of its 2009–2014 diesels in Europe and 2009–2015 diesels in the U.S. A defeat device is any change that reduces the effectiveness of the emission control system under conditions which may reasonably be expected to be encountered in normal vehicle operation and use, unless the need for the AECD is justified in terms of protecting the vehicle against damage or accident. VW included software that looked for the progression of speeds used on the official emission test cycle and shut off emission controls under all other conditions. While there have been previous defeat device cases in the U.S., none involved shutting off emission controls all of the time in the real world—and no other manufacturer lied to the U.S. regulatory agencies2 and tried to cover up their defeat device for 16 months.
