Lower Saxony’s Prime Minister Weil Visits Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg Plant

  • Matthias Müller: “Thank you for showing your support for the team!”
  • Tour of e-Golf production demonstrates that Volkswagen continues to stand for innovation and outstanding technology
  • Weil, Müller und Osterloh jointly tour factory
  • Müller: “We will realign Volkswagen: with leaner structures, a new culture of cooperation and technologies for the mobility of the future”

Lower Saxony’s Prime Minister Stephan Weil visited Volkswagen’s main plant in Wolfsburg today. He was joined by the CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, Matthias Müller, and the Chairman of the Group Works Council, Bernd Osterloh, on an itinerary which included a tour of production, where the visitors talked to employees and found out first-hand about current developments at the plant. Addressing Weil after the tour, Matthias Müller said: “Your visit to Wolfsburg underscores the close ties linking the State of Lower Saxony with Volkswagen and its workforce. Thank you for showing your support for the team!” Müller went on to say: “Our tour of e-Golf* production also demonstrated that Volkswagen continues to stand for innovation and outstanding technology – particularly as regards new drives, connectivity and digitization.”

The CEO reiterated his assurance that Volkswagen was working intensively on finalizing the technical solutions for its customers as quickly as possible. He added that efforts to uncover the full truth of what had happened were being systematically pursued. Müller commented: “That is the only way to learn the right lessons and avoid such misconduct in future.”

At the same time, the visit by the Prime Minister also touched on “how we can fundamentally realign Volkswagen: with leaner structures, with a new, open culture of cooperation, and with technologies for the mobility of the future. These issues will decide the future of our industry and the future of our Group. This is where we must not and will not let up”, Müller said.

Weil, Osterloh and Müller sent another important signal by talking at length to employees – particularly vocational trainees, the youngest members of the team.

At the end of the visit, the CEO commented: “The workforce here in Wolfsburg and at all the other sites works with great commitment and skill to develop and build the best vehicles for our customers. We are proud of that. And it is the foundation for making sure that Volkswagen continues to be a strong and successful company in future.”

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. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. 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 ...
