Production in Germany starting in 2020. Flexible fast charging stations will help to accelerate the expansion of the charging infrastructure. In 2020 Volkswagen Group Components will launch the production of new charging stations in the German component plant in Hanover and at the same time bring to the market the first models of the new ID. Family. The historic ideal – California dreamin’ Born in California. The idea of the buggy was born in California. Self-built racers with V8 engines cruised over the dunes of the Pacific beaches there for the first time in the 1950s. At some point, the first Beetle chassis with rollover bars and a Boxer engine in the rear appeared on the beaches. This sight gave Bruce Meyers, until then busy with the construction of boats and surfboards, the idea of a lightweight GFRP body. In 1964 the American presented his first model: a bright red thing called “Old Red”. In the dunes of Pismo Beach, a laid-back setting between San Francisco and Los Angeles, he wrote automotive history with it. As an engineer, artist, boat builder and surfer, he brought the perfect combination ID. BUGGY Passat T-Roc R Touareg V8 TDI < > 15
of profession and vocation to create a new type of
vehicle that would soon inspire hundreds of thousands
of people as a dune or beach buggy. At the beginning
of the 70s, buggy mania also broke out in Europe.
The breakthrough is largely thanks to three editors of
the German magazine “Gute Fahrt”: The trio obtained
a design certificate from TÜV and at the same time
gained the long-standing Volkswagen partner Karmann
for the production and construction of the “Karmann
GF Buggy”. From now on, all buggies approved in
Germany benefited from the model certificate. Until
the peak of the buggy boom in the 80s, many other
suppliers entered the market in Europe. One of
the best-known and most successful small-series
manufacturers was Apal from Belgium.

Wolfsburg/Geneva, March 2019. More comfortable, more digital, and with even more enhanced integration: the highly advanced eighth generation of the Passat celebrates its debut in Geneva. Ralf Brandstätter, Chief Operating Officer for the Volkswagen brand: “This spring, the 30 millionth Passat will roll off the production line. This makes it the most successful mid-range model in the world. The technical update will consolidate its position as one of the best vehicles for business.” Travel Assist will be available for the first time in the new Passat. According to Mr Brandstätter: “The Passat has always been a reflection of technical progress. And this is no exception. With the world première of the new Travel Assist, our best- selling car is the first Volkswagen which enables partially automated motion across nearly the entire speed range – a true milestone on the path to autonomous driving.” Travel Assist is activated from the multifunction steering wheel at the touch of a button. The driver must constantly monitor the system for legal and safety-related reasons. To ensure this, Travel Assist (which is active between 0 and 210 km/h) checks whether the driver has hands on the steering wheel. This is more convenient in the new Passat than ever before, as a direct ID. BUGGY Passat T-Roc R Touareg V8 TDI < > 20

ID. BUGGY Passat T-Roc R Touareg V8 TDI < > 33The harmonious concept of the T-Roc is the basis of its success and has already inspired many customers. Since its market launch in November 2017, it has been sold around 200,000 times worldwide. The compact crossover’s broad range is now being expanded to include the new T-Roc R, an emphatically sporty model that appeals to individualists who attach as much importance to a stylish appearance as to outstanding driving performance. Volkswagen R – the name says it all The new T-Roc R was developed and tested by Volkswagen R, including at the legendary Nürburgring race track. The development of the vehicle was also supported by the racing driver expertise of WRX World Champion Petter Solberg and Volkswagen works driver Benjamin Leuchter. Volkswagen R is a 100% owned independent subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. The letter R has stood for racing since the first model, the Golf R32, and expresses the close connection to motor sports.
