For three decades China and the Volkswagen Group have enjoyed a very special relationship. Volkswagen and its joint venture partners have been instrumental in making the domestic automotive industry a powerful motor of China's strong economic growth.

Today, China - the world's biggest auto market - is the second home to the Volkswagen Group, where it has some 31,000 employees at eight production plants.

Volkswagen's leading market position in China gives strong momentum to the entire group.
