The Volkswagen logo, featuring its distinctive "V" and "W," encapsulates the essence of the company's name. In German, "Volks" translates to "people," and "Wagen" means "car," reflecting the brand's original goal of making automobiles accessible to everyone. Founded in 1937 by the German Labour Front, Volkswagen emerged as an emblematic brand, epitomising quality engineering, innovation, and reliability. One of its most iconic creations is the Volkswagen Beetle, a symbol of affordable mobility and achieved immense popularity worldwide. Over the years, Volkswagen has expanded its lineup to include a range of vehicles, from compact cars like the Golf to luxury models such as the Phaeton. The company is also a pioneer in electric mobility, with models like the Volkswagen ID series leading the charge towards sustainable transportation.
