What began under the label "syncro" in 1984, when the Passat Variant GT syncro and thus the first mass-produced model came onto the market, continues today in vehicles with the abbreviations 4MOTION and GTX. The 4MOTION all-wheel drive is currently available in numerous models with petrol and/or diesel engines – from Golf to Golf Variant, T-Roc, Tiguan, Passat, Tayron and Touareg. Some electric models of the ID. family are also available as optional all-wheel drive versions, each with an electric motor on the front and rear axles.

Martin Sander, member of the Board of Management responsible for Sales, Marketing, After Sales at the Volkswagen brand: “We are seeing a positive trend in incoming orders in Europe and are currently selling more ID.7 models than Passat. This shows that the ID.7 is a meaningful all-electric addition to the brand’s product portfolio and, in addition to our successful Passat, is also suitable for long distance drivers and as a company car.”

The top ten most popular vehicles include as many as five Volkswagen models: the Golf, T-Roc, Tiguan, Passat and Polo. Volkswagen also topped out the German market in the BEV segment. Here, Volkswagen vehicles accounted for 16.3 per cent of new registrations, an increase of 2.8 percentage points on 2023.

These now account for 47 percent of total Volkswagen deliveries – an increase of 1.4 percentage points on 2023. Once again, the Tiguan was the most popular SUV and best-selling model, followed by the T-Roc – ever since the sales launch of the compact crossover model, more than 2 million units have been sold. Volkswagen will launch the next generation of the T-Roc in 2025. The Polo also provides cause for celebration this year – 50 years after its first model generation came on the market. To this day, Volkswagen’s small car remains very popular worldwide, with over 20 million units already delivered. In Brazil, for example, a record-breaking 172,510 units of the Polo were handed over to customers last year.

The Passat has been built at Emden since 1977, and this site has been the lead plant for the model throughout that time. The eighth generation of the Passat is currently in production here. The Passat is the most successful mid-size car in the world. In 2019, it became the first car in this segment to reach the milestone of 30 million units sold.

There, he was responsible for the production of the Passat, Tiguan, Polo, Vento and Jetta models. After four years in Pekan, his first professional station followed at Volkswagen Saxony: from 2020 to 2022, Danny Auerswald worked as Site Manager of the Transparent Factory in Dresden. Since 1 July 2024, he has been Chairman of the Board of Management and Managing Director Technology and Logistics at Volkswagen Sachsen. About Volkswagen Sachsen GmbHThe founding of Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH in December 1990 marked the launch of an ambitious project by Volkswagen AG to establish a competitive production facility for Volkswagen vehicles and engines in one of the most traditional regions of the German automotive industry. In addition to the temporary use of existing facilities at Zwickau and Chemnitz, which Volkswagen fully modernised, two new manufacturing facilities were built for vehicle and engine production. The Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden was inaugurated in 2001. Automobilmanufaktur Dresden GmbH (Gläserne Manufaktur) was merged with Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH in 2014. Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH now includes the Zwickau vehicle plant, the Chemnitz engine plant and the Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden. Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH has a workforce of around 11,500 employees (including Volkswagen Training Institute). Roughly 98 per cent of the employees have industry-related vocational training, a master craftsman’s certificate or a technical college or university degree. The average age is around 45 years and women currently account for 12.7 per cent of the workforce. Danny Auerswald is Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH with responsibility for Technology and Logistics. The Management Board also includes Professor Thomas Edig (Human Resources and Organisation) and Lukas Folc (Finance and Controlling). Information for the Press Zwickau Jonas Wetzel

When the VW Beetle was due to be replaced in the 70s, Volkswagen had several models up its sleeve: the Passat came onto the market in 1973, followed a year later by the Golf, while the Polo made its debut in 1975. No vehicle before had been so short and refined. Positioned a class below the Golf, the Polo perfectly rounded off the then new model family with front-wheel drive. 50 years later and in its sixth generation, the Polo has proven how a small car can assert itself confidently in a likeable way. More than 20 million cars sold speak for themselves. Affordable mobility and innovations: a car for everyoneThe Polo does not just stand for technical innovations, but also for affordable mobility for everyone. With state-of-the-art technology and a fair price-performance ratio, the Polo has contributed to individual mobility over generations. Whether for first driving lessons, sporty driving pleasure or as a family car – the Polo has created memories and will continue to be a versatile companion in the future also. Flashback: a small car makes the big timeThe small car presented in March 1975 was based on the Audi 50. In slightly modified form it went into series production in Wolfsburg as the Volkswagen Polo and quickly provided a breath of fresh air in the small car segment. With its clean design and high functionality, it caught the spirit of the times. Efficient, practical and affordable, the lightweight vehicle was also characterised by agility, very good handling characteristics and economical engines. Core virtues that have continued the success story ever since. Evolution over six generationsWith each generation, the small car has been developed further. The Polo II brought a number of improvements from 1981 onwards, including more space and comfort as well as modernised engines. In 1987, the limited special series Polo Coupé GT G40 saw the debut of the scroll-type supercharger, which provided more power.
