The #volkswagen Group is systematically pressing ahead with its realignment and will take important steps this year to ensure a successful future. "2016 will be a year of transition for #volkswagen. Yet it will also be the year in which we accelerate the transformation and lay the foundations for a new, better #volkswagen," said Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Board of Management of #volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, in Wolfsburg on Thursday at the presentation of the 2015 annual financial statements. According to Müller, the automotive industry is on the cusp of the next big innovative leap and a radical transformation. "We are in a good starting position for this epochal transformation. And we have many strengths to throw into the mix," stressed the CEO, mentioning among other things the Group's 12 strong brands, technological expertise, global presence, strong focus on quality, committed workforce and sound finances. "We aim to play a key role in designing the mobility world of tomorrow," Müller explained. He also sees room for improvement, however: "Our goal is to make the #volkswagen Group more efficient and faster, more entrepreneurial and courageous, more sustainable and technologically more progressive. That is without question an enormous task, but we are making good progress," the Chairman of the Board of Management said.
