People of Volkswagen

At Volkswagen, we are always striving for innovation in order to help shape and change the future of mobility in a sustainable way. We question the existing, develop new technologies and explore new ways. But this change does not happen on its own: it is the people at Volkswagen who are the key drivers of this transformation. And it is precisely they who distinguish us as a group.

What is the team atmosphere like at Volkswagen?

Without mutual trust, solidarity and support in the Volkswagen team, we would not be where we are today. Because only as a team can we pursue our goals together. Take a look at what else is important to our employees in terms of team atmosphere.
