Volkswagen is a German brand of cars produced since 1938 by the German company Volkswagen AG. Literally translated, it means “the people's car.” The company has been listed on the stock exchange since 2003. ¹⁾

Volkswagen was established by Adolf Hitler in 1937. He assembled a whole city just to house the industrial facility and laborers and asked Ferdinand Porsche to engineer a car that could carry two adults and three children and reach speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph). ²⁾

The first Volkswagen Beetle sold an extraordinary number of units compared to other vehicles in the 20th century, selling over 21.5 million vehicles. ³⁾
