The Volkswagen Group with its headquarters in Wolfsburg is one of the world¶s leading
automobile manufacturers and the largest carmaker in Europe. In 2010, the Group increased the
number of vehicles delivered to customers to 7.203 million (2009: 6.336 million), corresponding
to a 11.4 percent share of the world passenger car market.

In Western Europe just over one in five new cars (21.0 percent) comes from the Volkswagen
Group. Group sales came in 2010 to 126,9 billion euros (2009: 105.2 billion). Profit after tax in
the 2010 financial year amounted to 7.2 billion euros (2009: 0.9 billion).

The Group is made up of nine brands from seven European countries: Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT,
Skoda, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Scania.

Each brand has its own character and operates as an independent entity on the market. The
product range extends from low-consumption small cars to luxury class vehicles. In the
commercial vehicle sector, the product offering spans pick ups, buses and heavy trucks.

From the first quarter of 2011 the Group operates 62 production plants* in fifteen European
countries and a further seven countries in the Americas, Asia and Africa. Around the world,
nearly 400,000 employees produce about 30,000 vehicles or are involved in vehicle-related
services each working day. The Volkswagen Group sells its vehicles in 153 countries.

It is the goal of the Group to offer attractive, safe and environmentally sound vehicles which are
competitive on an increasingly tough market and which set world standards in their respective
classes.

* The production plants Chattanooga and Osnabrück will start production in spring 2011 and are
therefore counted as active production plants.
