Volkswagen on auction

The first car was presented only in 1935. The mass production was set up in 1938, but the war slowed down the process.

After the war the factory was controlled by the English businessmen, which considered the car brand absolutely unnecessary. And the English decided to get rid of the brand, but unfortunately the car became quite popular among the average customers. The English made a decision to risk and to produce about 20 000 cars. In 1947 the company took part in the Hannover export exhibition which made the brand really popular.

The company changed the management policy and started mass production. A huge distributor network was started, and new car models were developed. Later the company set up a range of service centers to help customers.

The company tried to produce not only cars, but trucks and sporty cars, which became quite popular among many people all over the world.
