Volkswagen AG is a German automobile manufacturer and one of
the largest companies worldwide. It was founded by the German govern-
ment in 1937 to mass-produce a low-priced “people’s car”. Its headquar-
ters are in Wolfsburg.
The company was originally operated by the German Labor Front,
a Nazi organization; and Ferdinand Porsche was brought in to design the
car. Production was interrupted by World War II, and by the end of the
war both the Volkswagen factory and the city of Wolfsburg were in ruins.
Allied attempts to revive the West German auto industry after the war
centered on the Volkswagen, and in little more than a decade the compa-
ny was producing half of West Germany’s motor vehicles.
Exports to most parts of the world were strong, but because of the
car’s small size, unusual rounded appearance, and historical connections

with Nazi Germany, sales in the United States were originally slow. This
changed in 1959, when an American advertising agency, Doyle Dane
Bernbach, began a landmark advertising campaign, dubbing the car the
Beetle because of its shape and pointing to its size as an advantage to the
consumer. This campaign was very successful, and for some years follow-
ing, the Beetle was the leading automobile import sold in the United States.
The Volkswagen hardly changed from its original design, however,
and by 1974, with increasing competition from other compact foreign
cars, Volkswagen came near bankruptcy. This spurred the company to
develop newer, sportier car models, among them the Rabbit and its suc-
cessor, the Golf.
In 1960 the state essentially denationalized the company by selling
60 per cent of its stock to the public. Volkswagen acquired the Audi auto
company in 1965. Volkswagen and its affiliates operate plants throughout
the world. In addition to cars, the company produces vans and minibuses,
automotive parts and engines. Its core market is the European Union and
its major subsidiaries include well-known brands like Audi, Bentley,
Skoda, Lambordgini, Bugatti, SEAT.
