“My name is Andreas Reeg, I’m an architect, and I live with my wife and children in Berlin. We’ve been using WeShare for four months—mostly for work in order to get to appoint-ments. After work, I usually use the carsharing service in the evenings if a car will be faster than a bicycle or public transport. WeShare is much cheaper for me than having my own car. The interaction between the vehicle and the app works great. I would like to see more than just one payment account per user in the future, so that I can invoice personal and business trips separately.”

and makes the Golf a zero-emissions vehicle, at least temporarily. During the Motor Show, visitors can also experience the show car ID. SPACE VIZZION up close and personal. Like all models in the ID. family, it is powered purely electri-cally and is based on the modular electric-drive toolkit (MEB).
After the press days and the
trade visitor day on March 4, the long-established fair, officially called the Geneva International Motor Show, will open its doors from March 5 to 15. It will be open Monday to Friday from 10 am to 8 pm and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the weekends. For more informa-tion, visit the event website: https://www.gims.swiss/.
W eShare, Volkswagen's car-sharing service, will expand into seven more cities this year. After Prague and Hamburg, the next to join in the spring will be Paris, Madrid, Budapest, Munich, and Milan. WeShare will offer a fully electric fleet of e-vehicles in all cities. In Prague and Budapest, Škoda will be the cooperation partner. In the other cities, both e-Golf
3s and e-up! 4s are used and,
from the end of the year, the ID.3 5.
“2020 will be a year of strong growth for us,” says Philipp Reth, CEO of WeShare. “We are convinced that fully electric free-floating car sharing will remain an essential and scalable bridging element in the

Our extensive product portfolio covers almost all key segments and body types, with offerings from small cars to super sports cars in the passenger car segment, and from pickups to heavy trucks and buses in the commercial vehicles segment, as well as motorcycles.
The Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand continued its global product initiative in the past year, rounding out its

the interior. The new T-Roc R stands out in particular due to its striking dynamics for its vehicle class. The Passat – a classic in the model range – was given a fresh look and many new technical features and is the first Volkswagen to be equipped with the latest generation of the infotainment system that is now permanently connected to the internet. Innovative driver assistance systems such as Travel Assist have also been included. In addition to the Passat
GTE, which
has also been updated, Volkswagen is pushing the electrifi-cation of its model range with the new e-up!, which now has a range of up to 260 km. The e-Golf and electric versions of the popular Bora and Lavida saloons were launched in China. The Magotan received a sweeping model update. Volkswagen met the steadily growing demand for
SUV models with the
Teramont X SUV coupé and a version of the T-Cross that has been adapted to meet the needs of local customers. Successor models to the Bora, Polo and Sagitar were unveiled. To tap the full potential of the Chinese market, Volkswagen Passenger Cars launched the
JETTA brand there, closing a gap between the volume segment and entry-level mobility with its VA3 and VS5 models. JETTA appeals in particular to first-time buyers by offering a fresh design, a high

1,800 employees have already been trained
More than 1,800 HR colleagues have already been trained for this SOP in large group events. That makes this qualification measure one of the most comprehensive in the history of Volkswagen Human Resources, and will enable faster and less complicat-ed personnel processes for employees as of January 1, 2020.
Risks are not mistakes. On the con-trary: it would be a mistake not to address them.
Whom can employees approach if they discover risks within their working environment? Pezzo: The first step should be to talk to their responsible manager. In addition, many of their immediate colleagues have already been entrust-ed with some risk management tasks. If they do not know who to approach, our colleagues in Risk Management will be happy to help them.

South Africa: 200,000 New Polos Have Left the Production Line 153,000 cars built for export – vehicle enters all right-hand-drive markets worldwide
M ilestone for the Volkswagen Group South Africa: The 200,000th new Polo has now rolled off the produc-tion line in Uitenhage. Polos have been made at the South African Volkswagen plant since 1996. The Polo Classic got the ball rolling 23 years ago. Since then, a large num-ber of models have been built in Uitenhage, with production of the current model starting in 2017.
Of the 200,000 Polos produced since then, 153,582 have been

MEB. After the electric car start-up e.GO, this is the first time another high-vol-ume manufacturer has relied on
Volkswagen’s modular system. The innovative MEB is set to become a new standard for electric mobility and will open up cost benefits for us through economies of scale. “Our electric platform is efficient yet compact. This makes it highly attractive for other companies,” says
Thorsten Jablonski, Business Area Manager Gearbox and Electric Drive at Volkswagen Group Components, where key elements for the MEB are manufactured.
Group Components will be supplying Ford with the same components for the new electric vehicle it is planning as it does for the ID.31 in Zwickau. Battery systems from Braunschweig, rotors and stators from Salzgitter,
electric drives from Kassel, precast parts from Hanover and Poznań, suspension struts, brakes, steering systems, drive shafts and much more. And Group Components plants are producing these items with great
efficiency. The Salzgitter plant, for example, produces the hairpins for the stator. This combines innovative technology and highly sophisticated production, resulting in a hairpin every second.
“We are not only re-lying on the latest tech-nology for the e-drive systems for the MEB, but on the experience we have gained working with the e-Golf2 and the e-up!3 as well,” adds Jablonski. Production for the MEB has been optimized, significantly streamlined and supplemented with new man-ufacturing technologies such as the hairpin method. “This has enabled us to halve product costs for the e-drive compared to that used for the e-Golf,” says Jablonski. Complex-
ity has also been reduced and things have been simplified wherever it made sense to do so. “It’s because of all this work that today’s MEB battery system looks like a bar of chocolate,” says Jablonski.
Maximum production volume for a profitable future
The high quantities of MEBs set to be produced lays the

W eShare, the purely electric car-sharing program from
Volkswagen, has launched. Vanessa Petre Linbenciuc has already tested the sustainable car-sharing service in Berlin. Reporting on her experience,
she makes a small swiping gesture on her phone to unlock the silver e-Golf. “This is one of the 1,500 cars I have in Berlin,” says the 24-year-old with a smile. “That’s what so practical about car-shar-ing: my cars are parked all over the city.” She is one of 2,500 users to have tested WeShare before its official launch. The test phase lasted nearly two months before everything kicked off in late June.
WeShare is an attempt by Volkswagen to get involved in what is known as free-floating car-sharing. The idea is to have so many cars available that customers will always be able to find one in their area. There are no set pick-up spots where cars need to be rented from and returned to.
Linbenciuc says, “registering was super quick because you can do the whole thing online. I downloaded the app, then uploaded photos of my driver’s license. Just a short time later, I received a brief telephone call and not three minutes later I was approved.”
Environmental friendliness plays a key role for her. “When I came to Berlin five years ago, sustainability was not part of the conversation
when it came to car-sharing. But that’s something that WeShare has engaged in now.” And finding parking in downtown Berlin is another rea-son Linbenciuc doesn’t use her own car to get around the city. “I can park a car-shar-ing car anywhere in Berlin. There are even special parking spots reserved only for car-sharing or elec-tric cars on some streets. That’s a huge advantage.”
After launching in Berlin, WeShare is planned to be rolled out to other major cities in Germany and Europe. Users can rent
e-Golf models during the test phase. The e-up!
