  • Merkel and Modi find out more about vocational training at Volkswagen in India

  • One main topic: Volkswagen Vento exports from Pune plant

  • Human-robot cooperation gives glimpse of tomorrow’s workplace




Chancellor Angela Merkel and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi found out more about technological innovation at Volkswagen on their visit to Hannover Messe 2015. The visit focused on the Group’s commitment in India. During their tour of the exhibition stand, the guests learnt more about production of the Volkswagen Vento, which is built at the Indian plant in Pune and exported to over 30 countries worldwide. The delegation was welcomed by the CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, together with two apprentices from the Volkswagen factory in Pune.


“India is and will remain an important strategic growth market for the Volkswagen Group. We are convinced that Volkswagen will take on a key role in the Indian automobile market in the long term. We are driving localization in India forward with our new engine assembly plant in Pune”, said Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. One of the exhibits presented to the guests was a Volkswagen Vento, a model specially designed for the Indian market and built at the Volkswagen plant in Pune.


Prime Minister Modi and Chancellor Merkel also talked to two young Indian apprentices who are training at the Pune site, and were particularly interested in Volkswagen’s approach to developing young talent in India. Dual vocational training is a key to good skilled workmanship, not just in Germany, but worldwide. Today, the Volkswagen Group already trains three quarters of its 18,500 apprentices worldwide based on the German dual vocational training principle.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more.

Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
