  • Computer Vision to Make Production Within the Volkswagen Group Even More Efficient
    Medieninformation NO. 167/2020 Computer Vision to make production within the Volkswagen Group even more efficient • Computer Vision: Volkswagen forges ahead with image recognition processes in combination with artificial intelligence • Gerd Walker, Head of Volkswagen Group Production: “Key contribution to boosting efficiency in production. Expect cost reductions running into the double-digit million range by 2024.” • First cross-Group application to be linked to the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud in 2021 Wolfsburg, July 2, 2020 – In production, the Volkswagen Group is continuously moving ahead with future-oriented technologies and digitalization. “Industrial Computer Vision” image recognition and processing technology is to help improve productivity in production by 30 percent from 2016 to 2025. “The use of this technology offers considerable potential for making our production plants even more efficient. By 2024, we already expect cost reductions running into the double digit million euro range throughout the group,” says Gerd Walker, Head of Volkswagen Group Production. “The focus is on applications which we can develop at one location and then roll out throughout the Group.” The first two Computer Vision solutions from Porsche and Audi are currently being prepared for Group-wide rollout and connection to the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud. The Volkswagen Group is already among the leading automakers working with Computer Vision. The process extracts information from optical data, such as the real environment at the plant, which it then evaluates using artificial intelligence (AI). The procedure is similar to the human capability of recognizing, processing and analyzing images. Volkswagen has been working with this technology for several years and is now intensifying its efforts.

Michael Horn, chief executive offer, Volkswagen USA2 The trust-shattering exposure of the Volkswagen Group (VW) emission scandal on September 18, 2015, left Matthias Müller, VW’s newly appointed chief executive officer (CEO), with a daunting management challenge—reputation recovery. Müller’s task was to draw the German multinational automotive manufacturing company out of the abyss of one of the worst reputation crises it had faced since its inception in 1937. The matter came to the fore when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) slapped a legal notice on VW for violation of the Clean Air Act.3 The EPA accused VW of manipulating nitrogen oxide emissions tests to ensure its EA 189 diesel engines, built during fiscal years 2009–2015, met EPA standards.

  • Further Ordinary Shares in Volkswagen AG Acquired
    Press release 05/20 12. May 2020 Further ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG acquired At 99 million euro, group result after tax down significantly on the prior-year figure in the first quarter / Net liquidity increases to 568 million euro / Forecast for the fiscal year 2020 still uncertain Stuttgart, 12 May 2020. Porsche Automobil Holding SE (Porsche SE), Stuttgart, increased its holding of ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg, to 53.3 percent. In the period from 17 March to 20 April 2020, a total of 0.2 percent of the ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG was acquired in capital market transactions for 81 million euro, of which 26 million euro relates to the first quarter. This latest purchase of ordinary shares highlights Porsche SE’s unwavering commitment to the Volkswagen Group. In light of the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the group result after tax of 99 million euro for the first quarter of 2020 is clearly down on the prior-year figure (1.20 billion euro). This result was significantly influenced by the profit from the investment accounted for at equity in Volkswagen AG of 108 million euro (1.22 billion euro). In the reporting period, the “Intelligent Transport Systems” (ITS) segment generated revenue of 26 million euro, up slightly on the prior-year figure (25 million euro). In this segment, there was a result after tax of minus 5 million euro compared to minus 4 million euro in the first quarter of 2019. This contains effects of minus 2 million euro from the continuation of the purchase price allocation.
