The History of Volkswagen
Ferdinand Porsche started work on the ’people’s car’ with money he received from the German government in 1934. First of all he travelled to America to learn about car production. Then in 1938 he returned to Germany, founded Volkswagen Gmbh and started production with his new American machinery in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony.
Commercial production stopped during the war and the factory and its 9,000 workers fell into British hands in 1945. After the war the British helped the local economy by ordering 20,000 cars but decided not to take over the company as they did not think it had a future. Instead, Heinrich Nordhoff took over as Managing Director and the Volkswagen success story began.
Within five years annual production went from 20,000 to 230,000 cars and the company founded its first South American subsidiary, Volkswagen do Brazil S. A. In 1949 the first exports to the USA arrived in New York, where they were described as ’beetle-like’ and the VVV Beetle legend was born. Thirty-two years later the 20 millionth Beetle rolled off a Volkswagen de Mexico production line. In 1960 Volkswagen became a public limited company valued at DM 600m.
The company continued its globalisation by setting up its own production facilities in Australia (1957), Nigeria (1973) and Japan (1990) while expanding into the USA (1976) and Spain (1986) by buying car manufacturers. The company also set up a joint venture in China (1982). Political events at the end of 1989 gave VVV the opportunity to move into central Europe, where it soon began production in the former East Germany and expanded into the czech Republic.
Today Volkswagen AG is Europe’s largest car-maker with 242,770 employees and a turnover of $65bn. With new versions of the world’s two most successful cars, the Beetle and the Golf, the future for VVV looks every bit as bright as its past.
