Volkswagen


For the love of people's cars

Volkswagen was founded in the late 1930’s in Germany and the popularity of its vehicles has grown to such levels that it has become Europe’s largest carmaker. Today the Volkswagen Group has formed a control structure comprising four regions around the world, one of them including South Africa.

Volkswagen South Africa was established in 1946 and the first locally-made VW Beetle appeared in 1951. Since then, Volkswagen has become one of the main passenger car manufacturers in the country, to such an extent that more than one in five cars sold is a Volkswagen. VW is one of the largest foreign employers in South Africa, employing over 6000 people. The company is based just outside Port Elizabeth in a town called Uitenhage.
