Herndon, VA, April 15, 2016 – Jan Bures, Executive Vice President, Group Aftersales and Services, Volkswagen Group of America (VWGoA), has been recognized as “Supply Chain Executive of the Year” at the fourth annual Automotive Leaders Summit held in Las Vegas on April 7. The award recognizes Bures’ commitment to network optimization to efficiently achieve VWGoA’s goals in the North American market.

“Jan Bures embodies the importance of process efficiency and optimization of the networks,” said Peter Wooding, CEO of Three6Zero, and host of the Automotive Leaders Summit. “The contributions of Mr. Bures and of those at our annual celebration continue to benefit the automotive industry as a whole.”

As the Executive Vice President for Group After Sales & Services for Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Bures is responsible for steering the group after sales strategy, delivery of VWGOA parts turnover and profit, parts logistics, wholesale parts operations, contact centers and roadside assistance.

Prior to his current role which he assumed in 2013, Bures spent over 20 years with the Volkswagen Group holding positions of increasing responsibility across the globe.

The conference features keynote speakers, panel debates, forums and other discussions related to the global supply chain and automotive industry. The conference’s Automotive Global Awards ceremony honors individuals and companies in 25 categories, including supply chain, logistics quality, purchasing and other operations.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
