The numbers speak for themselves: One in seven jobs in Germany depends directly or indirectly on the automotive industry; without it, our economy would be very different. Full employment, just ten years after World War II, would have been almost unimaginable without the boom in this industry. And the Volkswagen Group remains at the heart of this key industry to this day: approximately 600,000 employees, 200 billion euros in revenue, and 120 factories. VW is the world’s largest automaker.
