Right on Schedule for E-Mobility
Volkswagen is making excellent progress. In 2017, the brand sold more cars than ever before – a clear indication of rebounding consumer faith. That is why brand chief Herbert Diess will be able to announce a powerful acceleration of business when he presents last year's results in Wolfsburg on the 14th of March, 2018. The new year started well, too, with positive sales figures and an impressive trade show appearance in Geneva, surrounding the new flagship of electro-mobility, the I.D. VIZZION.
A Road Trip to the World Premiere in Beijing
In early March, world-record holding driver Rainer Zietlow began his long trip to China with a new, partly camouflaged Touareg at the Bratislava factory in Slovakia.

Here, you can read Rainer Zietlow's diary entries, following the first legs of his trip. Starting on Monday, Rainer will file a daily report from the road.
