Volkswagen Group owns a wide array of automotive brands, ranging from mass-market vehicles to ultra-luxury and performance marques. The core brands include Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Škoda, SEAT, and CUPRA. In the premium segment, the Group owns Audi. The sports and luxury portfolio is extensive, featuring Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. Ducati falls under the Group's motorcycle division. For heavy commercial vehicles, the brands are MAN, Scania, and Navistar.

The ownership structure is not always a simple 100% stake. The Group uses a multi-tiered approach to manage its diverse holdings, which can include majority ownership, controlling stakes, or strategic investments. The table below outlines the primary brands and their status within the Group.

Brand	Primary Segment	Ownership Stake / Status	Notable Model
Volkswagen	Mass-Market	Fully Integrated	Golf, ID.4
Audi	Premium	99.64%	A4, e-tron
Porsche	Luxury/Sports	75.4% (Controlling Interest)	911, Taycan
Bentley	Ultra-Luxury	100%	Continental GT
Lamborghini	Supercar	100%	Huracán, Urus
Bugatti	Hypercar	100% (Now part of Bugatti Rimac)	Chiron
Ducati	Motorcycle	100%	Panigale
Škoda	Mass-Market	100%	Octavia
SEAT/CUPRA	Mass-Market/Sporty	100%	Leon, Formentor
MAN	Trucks/Buses	55.9% (Controlling Stake)	TG Series
Scania	Trucks/Buses	100%	R-Series
Navistar	Trucks (North America)	Acquired (2021)	International LT

This structure allows Volkswagen Group to share technology, platforms (like the modular MQB and EV-specific MEB architectures), and engineering resources across brands, increasing efficiency while maintaining distinct brand identities. For example, the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT share fundamental EV components, yet are engineered to deliver completely different driving experiences. This strategy gives the Group immense scale and a presence in nearly every automotive market segment worldwide.

It's a whole family tree. You've got the everyday stuff like VW and Škoda. Then the fancy step-siblings, Audi and Porsche. And way at the top, the absolute kings of luxury and speed: Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. They even own Ducati motorcycles and big truck companies like MAN and Scania. It's basically a car empire that covers everything from a commuter hatchback to a million-dollar hypercar.

From a business perspective, Volkswagen AG's portfolio is a masterclass in market segmentation. They control brands that cater to every possible consumer demographic and price point. This allows for massive economies of scale. For instance, a single EV platform can underpin a Volkswagen ID.4, an Audi Q4 e-tron, and a future CUPRA model. The synergies in R&D, procurement, and manufacturing are staggering, making the Group one of the largest and most profitable automotive entities globally.

Where is the car fuel tank generally located

For sedans, the fuel tank is typically located in the middle-rear section of the vehicle. However, depending on the car model, some fuel tanks are positioned on the right side while others are on the left. This applies to most vehicles, though there are exceptions. For example, the Honda Fit hatchback has its fuel tank in the central part of the car, basically beneath the driver's seat, to maximize rear passenger space. Considerations for body weight balance. Automakers like German and Japanese manufacturers place high importance on technology, particularly concerning weight distribution. The front of the vehicle already carries the heavy engine and steering system, so the fuel tank is usually placed under the rear seats. Combined with the driver's weight, this creates a diagonal balance between the fuel tank and the driver to maintain overall vehicle weight equilibrium. Driving direction also plays a role. The placement of the fuel tank is also designed for convenience during refueling. In some European countries where driving is on the right side of the road, the fuel tank is positioned on the right. Some may wonder why Korean cars, which also drive on the right, have fuel tank openings on the left. One explanation is that Korean manufacturers copied Japanese car designs without adapting the fuel tank position to their own driving habits. Safety considerations for refueling. The location of the fuel tank opening must account not only for convenience but also for safety. In the past, when cars were refueled using portable gas cans, having the fuel tank opening on the same side as the driver could lead to collisions during refueling. Therefore, positioning the fuel tank opening diagonally opposite the driver—toward the roadside—is safer. If you can't remember which side your fuel tank is on, check the fuel gauge on your dashboard; the small arrow indicates the location. For vehicles with a single exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe is usually on the opposite side of the fuel tank.

What maintenance items are required for a car at 40,000 kilometers?

At 40,000 kilometers, car maintenance requires the replacement of engine oil, spark plugs, cabin air filter, engine air filter, oil filter, brake fluid, coolant, etc. In addition to some mandatory maintenance items, the 4S shop will determine whether parts need to be replaced based on the car's usage and the condition of the components. Relevant information about car maintenance is as follows: Introduction: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Maintenance Scope: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc.

Under what circumstances is overtaking not allowed?

According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", overtaking is prohibited under the following circumstances: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: Article 43 - When motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the following vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead sufficient to take emergency braking measures. Overtaking is not allowed under any of the following circumstances: when the vehicle ahead is making a left turn, performing a U-turn, or overtaking another vehicle; when there is a possibility of encountering oncoming traffic; when the vehicle ahead is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency duties; or when passing through sections where overtaking is not feasible, such as railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or urban areas with heavy traffic flow.

Can a 1.2-liter displacement car run long distances?

1.2-liter displacement cars can run long distances, especially on highways, but the re-acceleration capability of small-displacement engines is very weak at high speeds. Many cars use small-displacement naturally aspirated engines or small-displacement turbocharged engines, which are fuel-efficient and have low exhaust emissions. The meaning of the golden displacement can be interpreted from three aspects: Having fuel economy characteristics; good handling, power, and comfort; being able to meet various forms of consumer use: such as business, commuting, travel, etc. In other words, it can maximally meet the various needs of consumers for car use and has a reasonable price, which is the golden displacement and golden model.

Can You Drive a Manual Car with an Automatic License?

An automatic license does not permit driving a manual car. An automatic driving license falls under the C2 category. According to China's traffic regulations, a C2 license for small automatic passenger vehicles only allows driving small and micro automatic passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles. Driving a manual car with a C2 license is equivalent to driving without a license and will be subject to severe legal penalties. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes more than 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle is.

How to Check if ETC Has Been Applied For?

Car owners need to bring relevant documents such as their ID card and vehicle license to a bank branch to inquire whether ETC has been applied for their vehicle. How ETC Works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used to process backend settlements with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the electronic tag invalid. In such cases, it can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to a highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment was not due to human intervention, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, where cash or card payments can be made. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those with modified front windshields.
