  1973. Oil crisis. Holidays without a car, strict speed limits on roads, increasing gasoline prices made people forget about the joy of driving. Automakers around the world trying to cope with falling sales. In the midst of crisis, in 1974, Volkswagen opened a new chapter in automotive history - Volkswagen Golf.

The history of hard work, where intelligence and skill vykokotehnologichny rights are inextricably linked. Not surprisingly, the result becomes the vehicle with the unique nature - Phaeton. Thanks to the use of innovative methods of production, recreating the tradition of manual work, every car is a true work of art. Here, and anywhere else in the world, it is possible to observe the process of building the car - on the assembly line in the heart of a glass factory. Experimental Mechanics, to assemble the most advanced technologies. Their jobs are similar to the laboratory: the cleanliness, quiet, light and ergonomic. Thus is born a real masterpiece, created by hand. 


Only the car, a home for the whole family can be called Volkswagen 

The car and safety. 
  If a car is to travel the whole family, it must be not just comfortable and dynamic. First of all, it should be as safe. This is especially true for the youngest passengers, who are unable to take care of their security. It is for these vehicles have been developed such as the Touran and Sharan - the embodiment of security. Uncompromising security is guaranteed as for adults, located in front, and the children seated at the rear. Meanwhile, these cars will not only ensure maximum safety, but also to give maximum freedom: there's plenty of space for all members of the family, luggage, shopping, toys, plush bears, toy cars and favorite books with tales ... 
Because of its safety and capacity of these cars can be called a second home. 

Only the car, made innovation available, may be called the Volkswagen 

Automobile and technology. 
  Nothing is more important in the creation of a car than innovation. But there is one «but» - these innovations must meet the requirements of modern man and to be accessible to all. 
It is for this reason, almost all Volkswagen cars equipped with a calling card company - powerful and economical TDI engines, or TSI, showed the maximum power with minimum fuel consumption. 
Robotic Gearbox DSG combines sportiness and low fuel consumption of a manual gearbox with the comfort of an automatic. 
These and other developments demonstrate the innovativeness of Volkswagen and its concern for the people and the environment. 

Only the car, offering new solutions, can be called Volkswagen 

Automobile and progress. 
  When something seems impossible, there is only one solution - to continue to think until that's not possible. 
The high pace of development of VW in recent years based on this principle. Examples? Odnolitrovy car, which became the world's first concept, with a flow rate of 0.99 liters per 100 kilometers. Or Touareg TDI "Stanley", winner of Grand Challenge in the desert of Las Vegas. 
And yet, instead of human flesh and blood, we put behind the wheel of a combination of 6 computers. 
Such projects help to continually improve the range of Volkswagen. 


Only the car is not afraid of responsibility, may be called the Volkswagen 

The car and the new standards. 
  For us, it is important that the car was not simply a means of movement from point A to point B. We feel responsible for every car that comes down from our conveyor. Responsibility for our customers and their lives. The responsibility for everything we do - it is the foundation of our strategy, which allows you to create the best cars in their classes. Not luxury cars and not cheap, but cars that match the rising expectations of people ... and on established and emerging markets. That responsibility has led us to develop a system BlueMotion, which ensures lower fuel consumption, using an effective combination of engines, improved aerodynamics, optimized transmission characteristics and the use of tires with low rolling resistance. Thus, we are creating cars for future generations. And what would the requirements of the people did not appear to cars in the future, continuing innovation Volkswagen allow them the comfort and safety of movement. 
We take responsibility for our customers, leaving them with only the joy of each trip. 


Only the car, which now anticipates the future, may be called Volkswagen 

The car and the future. 
  In retrospect, we can recall the many developments that have helped us to literally step into the future. Thanks to these developments, we - on the right track. But have not yet reached the goal. We continue to develop the concept of a new generation of cars, such as the one that was shown at the IAA-2007. With the engine located at the rear, with a maximum capacity saloon, it has a minimum size, has a lower allocation of carbon dioxide and sheds light on a new design philosophy of VW. 
We also explore a variety of fuels and develop new types of engines that will help to achieve in the future efficient operation of a vehicle without the harmful emissions. 
In order to find new ways, new thinking is necessary. Because the future depends on our current ideas and solutions.
