  • Check Against Delivery – Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn
    – Check against delivery – Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn Speech at the Annual Media Conference and Investor Conference on March 14, 2013 – Part III – Ladies and Gentlemen, These results clearly show that the Volkswagen Group can start 2013 from a position of strength. We have three profitable business fields: Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles & Power Engineering, and Financial Services. We have 12 fascinating brands and 280 models to meet almost all conceivable customer wishes and needs. We have the innovative abilities of more than 40,000 developers. We have the necessary financial solidity and strength. And we have a convincing strategy for the future. In short: Volkswagen has everything it needs to continue its successful trajectory of recent years even under different circumstances. One strength that is paying off more and more is our global presence: We have been in Brazil for 60 years. We have been in Mexico and South Africa for 50 years. And we were also the first to venture into China in the 1980s. Part III - p. 2 Chart Internationalization of the Volkswagen Group An international mindset and approach are part of Volkswagen’s DNA. Today, we sell approximately 60 percent of our vehicles outside Europe. We operate 100 plants around the world, one-third of which are located outside Europe. And we now employ 140,000 people outside Europe. Our global positioning allows us to offset temporary setbacks in individual markets. In particular, though, we can exploit growth opportunities everywhere in the world. This is a significant advantage in the current environment. The overall market for commercial vehicles is likely to remain at last year’s low level in 2013.

  • Motorweek 2012 Drivers' Choice Best of the Year: Ford Mustang Boss
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Feb. 8, 2012 CONTACT: Michelle Parker| [email protected] |410.581.4076 MotorWeek 2012 Drivers’ Choice Best of the Year: Ford Mustang Boss 302 A thoroughly modern muscle car that remains true to its legendary heritage, the Ford Mustang Boss 302 roars past the competition, capturing MotorWeek’s “Best of the Year” 2012 Drivers’ Choice Award. MotorWeek, television’s longest running automotive series, has presented its Drivers’ Choice Awards annually since 1983. The awards are among the auto industry’s most prestigious honors and are announced at the Chicago Auto Show. The Mustang Boss 302 took top honors for preserving its pony car roots, while delivering exceptional performance, power and comfort. “We are honored to receive this award for the Boss 302,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang Chief Engineer. “Our goal was to pay homage to the heritage of this vehicle while transforming it into a world-class sports car recognized for its handling and track capabilities. It’s a fun job and I attribute the product's success to the Mustang enthusiasts and fans who help us improve with each and every model.” “We here at MotorWeek were left almost speechless that this rear-drive American muscle car is so extremely refined and works so seamlessly with the driver,” said MotorWeek host and executive producer John Davis. “The Mustang Boss 302 is the best example this year of a car where all aspects of engineering come together. As a total package, the Mustang Boss 302 is just an outstanding ride.” Recognized as the best overall among winners in 14 lifestyle categories, the Mustang Boss 302 also won as “Best Performance Car.” All Drivers’ Choice winners are featured on motorweek.org, as well as on a special episode of MotorWeek airing on PBS beginning February 11, 2012, and on cable’s Velocity beginning February 21, 2012.

The NEXO, which is only available in California, is the first such hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that IIHS has tested.

Evaluating the NEXO was also beneficial to IIHS, by offering its first early opportunity to evaluate a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Avenue www.HyundaiNews.com Fountain Valley, CA 92708 www.HyundaiUSA.com To qualify for a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests.
