Volkswagen Group's global factory layout

As one of the world's largest auto companies, Volkswagen ranks second in sales volume in the global auto market last year and in the first half of this year. However, it has always targeted the world first, and continues to expand globally. Capacity, the total number of factories in the major car companies also occupy the forefront.

According to the data compiled by Gasgoo.com, the Volkswagen Group's global factories are not only large in quantity but also widely distributed. As of the end of 2013, the total number of VW's global factories had reached 106 (including factories such as auto factories and parts and components), which were mainly distributed in 27 countries. This figure was obviously more than that of most automobile companies.

Compared with competitors competing for the title of the largest car companies, Volkswagen's global sales are more than GM, but the total number of factories is less than GM; sales are lower than Toyota, but the number of factories is more than Toyota.

General Motors Group may be the world's largest number of factories and the most widely distributed car manufacturers. Last year, there were 171 factories worldwide, distributed in 31 countries, and the data was more than the public. The total number of Toyota Group's factories is not yet known, but according to the In complete statistics, Toyota has established production facilities in 22 countries around the world, and the number is less than the public.

From a specific distribution point of view, the Volkswagen Group has established the largest number of production plants in Germany, with a total of 28 seats, accounting for 26.4% of the total number of its global factories. Second, in China, Volkswagen currently has 17 factories in China, accounting for 16.0% of the total number of its global factories. In Poland and Brazil, Volkswagen has seven and six factories. In other countries, the number of factories established by the public is relatively small, both within five.

In the Chinese market, Volkswagen Group has established three factories in Shanghai and Changchun. Chengdu, Foshan and Dalian have two factories. Nanjing, Yizheng, Urumqi, Ningbo and Guangzhou all have one factory. In addition to the 17 plants currently owned, according to the VW Group’s “New 7 Plants in China” plan, it will establish complete vehicles and parts factories in Changsha and Tianjin respectively. By then, the total number of VW factories in China will continue to increase. .
