The Volkswagen Group, which is based in Wolfsburg, is one of the leading carmakers in the world and combines twelve brands under one roof: Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, MAN and Scania.

In 2012, the company achieved a new delivery record: it delivered 9.07 million vehicles* to customers within twelve months – an increase of 11.2 percent over the previous year. Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, said: "The Volkswagen Group has developed excellently in difficult conditions. 2012 was the best sales year of all times. Our Strategy 2018 has once again taken us a clear step further. Great challenges lie ahead. The Volkswagen Group has everything it needs to face them and play a leading role in the global markets."

Volkswagen AG was also able to defend its position in the international fleet business successfully last year. The basis for this success is a varied range of products and services for major customers: from a finely tuned model range to tailored services to efficient fleet management services and attractive procurement conditions.
