I have always been driven by the ambition to solve every problem I face, whether as a scientist, engineer or entrepreneur.
From Martin Winterkorn
As CEO, I accept responsibility for the irregularities that have been found in diesel engines and have therefore requested the Supervisory Board to agree on terminating my function as CEO of the Volkswagen Group.
VW's future is increasingly being decided in China, Russia, India, the Americas and Southeast Asia. This is where we will generate most of our growth in future.
There are always opportunities one cannot pass up.
The hybrid engine costs a lot of money, and customers are hardly willing to spend so much more for a car.
The European auto industry made a commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 140 grams per kilometer. But then there was a significant change in what customers wanted in their vehicles.
VW grows with the challenges. We continue to do, even when times are tough.
The United States will remain one of the most important markets for VW.
Combining their operating business will make Volkswagen and Porsche even stronger - both financially and strategically - going forward.
I clearly say yes to Big Data, yes to greater security and convenience, but no to paternalism and Big Brother.'
