People of Volkswagen
At Volkswagen, we are always striving for innovation in order to help shape and change the future of mobility in a sustainable way. We question the existing, develop new technologies and explore new ways. But this change does not happen on its own: it is the people at Volkswagen who are the key drivers of this transformation. And it is precisely they who distinguish us as a group.

One company – numerous stories
672,800 Volkswagen employees worldwide who are shaping the mobility of tomorrow. And every single one of them is special. In our new content series, some of our colleagues from different areas and departments meet and exchange ideas. They get to know each other and discover the faces behind the different departments.
