Volkswagen headquarters, in Voorsfurburg, Germany, the automobile plant covers an area of 6.5 square kilometers, the plant area is very large, robots in the assembly line instead of labor, with non-stop repetitive action to produce auto parts, according to the drawings and data of computer terminals for production.
More than 60,000 workers, group on duty, if there is a special order, many people will be busy in the production workshop at the same time, a hot scene.
The distance between the assembly line workers of the car is very close, people stand in front of the assembly line machine tool busy, the public's work clothes are simply like team clothing, are red T-shirts, manual group operation is mainly the electronic equipment part of the car, these lines and various wiring ports, the setting is more complex, need to manually recheck and check, after repeated inspection of multiple procedures, and finally can be assembled, go to the next step to install and debug.
Speaking of the German Volkswagen brand, many people will think of its ace model Beetle, many people have seen the curved cute Beetle car on the street, this popular Volkswagen Beetle car, as a national car brand in Germany, from the industrial power of Germany to the world, Volkswagen has won the recognition of so many people with what?
This also begins with Hitler, who was elected Chancellor of Germany in the thirties, when his campaign manifesto was to let every family own a car of their own, and the price was not expensive, as long as 900 marks, people listened to the blood boiling, the crowd was excited, but the German economic environment at that time was not good, people were very poor, only a few powerful people could afford the luxury of the car.
While the Americans gradually popularized the automobile in Europe, Hitler was also eager to expand the production scale of automobiles in the country, gradually promote the use of automobiles, let the industry drive more jobs, and let the automobile promote economic recovery and development.
But this idea was difficult to implement, and Hitler, who was at a loss, later hit it off with a car designer, Ferdinand, and drew a sketch of the shape of the beetle, which became the world-famous beetle.
It has a nearly semicircular arc appearance, and its cute appearance is very eye-catching, but except for Hitler, many people are not optimistic about the appearance of this car.
However, Hitler insisted that only a unique shape and excellent quality could make people remember German cars, so the heavy responsibility of building a German national industrial brand, Hitler hoped to use the car to take the lead.
At this time, the designer Ferdinand who talked to Hitler founded the Porsche Car Company, his concept is to build a civilian car in Germany, which coincides with Hitler's concept of promoting cars, and is naturally willing to fully support Porsche cars, yes, this Porsche is the Porsche that is still a famous luxury car today.
Since he wanted to promote civilian cars, he wanted to have a simple appearance and characteristics, Ferdinand drew a sketch of the Beetle drawn by Hitler, designed the core of the car, and it took less than a year to produce a physical car, and because it was a car that civilians could have, it was named Volkswagen, and according to the appearance of the car, it was named the Beetle car.
As the locomotive technology at that time lacked high-tech machinery and equipment to process, the performance of this car and its cute appearance contrasted, the total weight of the car is only 650 kg, the space can sit a family, the speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour, but also equipped with an advanced portable air cooler, in the hot summer will not sweat to drive, and the price is not too high.
So the german Volkswagen Beetle came out of the hot discussion and attention, in 1937 Volkswagen was established, the production of nearly 300 of the oldest Beetle cars, but because of the outbreak of war soon, Volkswagen did not give the ordinary family as desired, but became a military car production plant.
After that, it was not until the 1950s that it began to turn back to civilian automobile production, and has been using the Beetle as a representative model, twenty years later, Volkswagen gradually went to the world, the cute Beetle drove to the streets of many countries around the world, this extremely recognizable car, became one of The ace symbols of Volkswagen.
Since then, with the development of science and technology, new models have been continuously introduced, but Volkswagen's popularity has always been inseparable from the Beetle, and because of its superior quality, the world has recognized the German car brand, and has developed to the world's largest automobile factory with tens of thousands of workers.
Germany's automobile always adhere to the quality and reputation to win customers, so the reputation in the industry is very good, the original German car is a popular model in many countries, it seems that we can insist on doing a good job, the pursuit of higher standards, will step out of a wider road of development.
