Volkswagen is a German brand, and FAW-Volkswagen is a joint venture between China FAW and Volkswagen Germany. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's leading automobile manufacturers. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche. The Volkswagen brand portfolio includes eight brands: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Škoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Scania, and MAN. The main models under the Volkswagen brand include sports cars, compact family cars, the EOS convertible, the Volkswagen CC, the Volkswagen Phaeton, and Volkswagen Audi, among others. Volkswagen Audi comprises four brands: Audi, SEAT, Lamborghini, and Ducati.
Volkswagen's headquarters is located in Wolfsburg, Germany, which was originally established as the 'People's Car' factory under Hitler's order during World War II. The Beetle was born there, and later the Golf and Passat showcased the essence of German manufacturing to the world. The steering wheel of my current Golf has that distinct German feel—solid damping and clear feedback. I remember visiting Wolfsburg last time; the robotic arms in the factory workshop were larger than a football field, and even the car paint was applied by robots using electrostatic adsorption technology, not a single drop wasted.
