Lamborghini stands for extreme and uncompromising super sports cars of the best Italian tradition. Lamborghini redefined the future of its super sports cars and decided to focus more on weight reduction than on top-speed. Extensive use of carbon fibre, even at a structural level, allows Lamborghini to be at the forefront of development techniques. Lamborghini presented a new, even more striking design of its most successful super sports car ever, the Gallardo LP 560-4 as a Coupé and Spyder.

LAMBORGHINI BUGATTI

Bugatti has always been the epitome of exclusivity, luxury, elegance, style and extraordinary design, driven by a great passion for automobiles. Unique visions, the strong legacy of legendary sports cars that date back to the year 1901, and high-precision engineering in development, construction, and manufacture distinguish this outstanding automotive brand. Bugatti confirmed its unique position by launching the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, the fastest roadster of all time with a top speed of 431 km/h. VEYRON

The importance of the Chinese market has significantly increased in the past years. As the automotive pioneer, Volkswagen entered the modern Chinese market in 1984 founding a joint venture with the Shanghai Automotive Industrial Corporation (Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Company Ltd.). A second joint venture, FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Company Ltd. was set up in 1991 to expand the Group’s activities. Today Volkswagen is represented by 17 companies producing at eleven facilities –including component, finance and sales companies. A “China” Board of Management function was created in 2012 to underpin the growing significance of the Chinese market.Our Chinese product portfolio now covers all segments from small cars to luxury sports cars. We took account of up-and-coming vehicle classes, such as the SUV segment, in our local production at an early stage. The commercial vehicle segment is also gaining in importance for us.

Deliveries of Volkswagen in China January to December 2012Since it first embarked on economic reform more than 30 years ago, China has become one of the world’s most important automotive markets and is now the Volkswagen Group’s largest sales market.

At the end of the 1990s, the focus began to turn to diversifying the product range. A crucial factor here was the establishment of the import business in 2007, which we had extended to include all of the Group’s passenger car brands by 2012.

We aim to safeguard an adequate liquidity, a healthy financing structure and our rating, which compares extremely well with the rest of the sector.The Automotive Division recorded a cash inflow of €2.6 billion (€ -4.3 billion) from financing activities. Due to new equity investments, net liquidity in the Automotive Division decreased at the end of fiscal year 2012 to €10.6 billion (€17.0 billion).In light of the Volkswagen Group’s sustained growth, we further diversified our refinancing activities in 2012. Last year, Volkswagen refinanced the equivalent of €25 billion through the issue of bonds, tapping into additional financial markets in the process.In 2012, rating agencies Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service performed their regular update of their credit ratings, they confirmed Volkswagen’s very good rating by sector standards and raised the outlook.

■ Deliveries to customers are expected to increase year-on-year

■ Sales revenue is expected to exceed the prior-year figure

■ While we shall see positive effects from our attractive model range and strong market position, there will also be increasingly stiff competition in a challenging market environment

■ Given the ongoing uncertainty in the economic environment, the Group’s goal for operating profit is to match the prior-year level in 2013

■ This applies equally to the Passenger Cars Business Area, the Commercial Vehicles, Power Engineering Business Area – which remains affected by high write-downs relating to purchase price allocation, among other things and the Financial Services Division

The operating profit after tax of the Automotive Division, including the share of the Chinese joint ventures, was €10.9 billion in 2012 (€9.4 billion). The significant year-on-year increase was due in particular to higher volumes, optimized product costs and positive exchange rate effects, as well as the inclusion of MAN and Porsche.Invested capital rose to €65.7 billion (€52.9 billion), mainly as a result of the inclusion of the new companies and higher investments in property, plant, and equipment. Multiplied by the cost of capital, which also increased as against 2011, the cost of invested capital was up to €5.1 billion (€3.7 billion).The increase in operating profit after tax resulted in a clearly positive value contribution of €5.8 billion (€5.7 billion).The return on investment is the return on invested capital for a particular period based on the operating profit after tax. At 16.6%, this was down on the prior-year figure (17.7%) due the increase in invested capital.

Modular Toolkit – Efficiency Gains Through Synergies

TECHNICAL CONCEPT Significantly reducing the fuel consumption of our vehicles, producing them at globally competitive costs and simultaneously increasing profitability and productivity – these are the Volkswagen Group’s goals for its modular toolkits. They represent the further development of our platform and modular strategy, which has its origins in the mid-1990s. Independent from size and segment, several parts, such as engines, gearboxes or air conditioning, can be used for different vehicles. This ensures that the synergy effects that exist, both between models in one series and across all series and brands, can be optimized and increased. Modularisation enables standardization with visible customization

whilst maintaining the individual brand identity.

Modular Toolkit – Introduction of the Modular Transverse Matrix MODULAR LONGITUDINAL MATRIX (MLB)

The Modular Longitudinal Matrix is the use of a modular strategy in vehicle platforms in which the drive train is mounted longitudinally to the direction of travel. This modular arrangement of all components enables maximum synergies to be achieved between the vehicle families. This concept is already used at Audi since 2007 to develop vehicles. With the evolutionary step MLB evo, the toolkit will be expanded in the future.

MODULAR TRANSVERSE MATRIX (MQB)

The latest member of our toolkit family is the Modular Transverse Toolkit (MQB). It is the basis for vehicles whose engine is mounted in a transverse arrangement. We introduced the first models based on this toolkit in the shape of the new Audi A3, the new Golf and the new SEAT Leon in 2012. With the MQB, the Volkswagen Group’s modular toolkit strategy now extends from the A0 segment to the C segment. The vehicles in the New Small Family are also covered in the A00 segment. We intend to produce over 40 models based on the MQB in the long term and across brands – to the highest quality standards, customized to each brand and tailored to the different market requirements.

The MQB architecture standardizes a number of key components across a number of vehicles classes. Each model retains it‘s own unique look and feel through the development of the so-called Hat. The MQB platform itself counts for 60 percent of the vehicle costs and bears the possibility first to significantly cut the necessary one-time expenses, such as development costs and to reduce manufacturing times, and, second, to enable use over several vehicle generations.

In addition to conventional petrol and diesel engines, the MQB also permits alternative drivetrains to be integrated, for example gas, hybrid, or electric drives. Previously, vehicle-specific adaptions were necessary in each case. Now, the MQB basic architecture is pre-configured to accommodate the changes required, be it for battery packs or high pressure gas tanks within the existing structure. Therefore, a quick reaction to changing needs is possible avoiding major product investment and minimizing complexity.

MQB MLB MSB

Modular Toolkit – Responsibility

The responsibilities for the different modular toolkits and for the New Small Family are with Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche.

Audi started with the launch of the Modular longitudinal toolkit and keeps the responsibility. The know-how which they have gained over the years, helped and helps to develop the following toolkits.

The Volkswagen brand is responsible for the Modular transverse toolkit which will be used for the Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and ŠKODA brands. The first vehicles to be produced based on the MQB will be the successor to the Audi A3 and the next generation Golf.

Development of the Modular standard drive train toolkit is being handled by Porsche, which was made responsible for development of sports car and luxury sedan platforms. The MSB is for a conventional front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, hence the word “standard” in its title, and it will be used for a range of models including the next-generation Porsche Panamera and Bentley Continental lineup.

In addition, the New Small Family complements the toolkit strategy. The up! and its derivatives are not produced based on the MQB. However, individual components such as engine, gearbox and steering components can be used for vehicles based on MQB.

The Lane Assist helps to prevent accidents caused by unintentionally wandering out of lane, and represents a major safety gain on motorways and major trunk roads. If there is an indication that the vehicle is about to leave the lane unintentionally, Lane Assist alerts the driver visually and by means of a signal on the steering wheel.

The Proactive Occupant Protection System detects critical situations with elevated accident potential. The vehicle occupants and the vehicle are prepared for a possible accident: The front seat belts in use are tensioned to securely hold both the driver and the passenger. Open windows and the sunroof are closed to just a crack.

Proven Innovation Track Record

The multi-collision brake automatically brakes after the first impact in order to mitigate and avoid further collisions. It reduces the remaining kinetic energy by reducing the speed of the car to 10 kilometers per hour and thereby increases safety significantly.

Parking in tight spaces is made considerably easier with the Park Assist. The latest generation detects parallel and perpendicular parking spaces and automatically steers in several moves into small parallel parking spaces – and out again.

The Fatigue Detection system detects waning driver concentration and warns the driver with an acoustic signal lasting five seconds; a visual message also appears in the instrument cluster recommending that the driver takes a break from driving.

The cruise control system with automatic distance control ACC uses a distance sensor to measure the distance and speed relative to vehicles driving ahead.

In the next decades, today’s technologies will continue to be dominant. Combustion engines – some of them supported by E-motors, pure E-drives and fuel cells – will co-exist side-by-side. On its path towards the future, Volkswagen will continue to research and further develop all potential engine types and introduce them as soon as it makes sense and is technically feasible.

The Batteries of Plug-In Hybrids can be charged by plugging into an electric socket. Due to the greater battery capacity, longer electric driving ranges are possible.

The performance of ordinary and preferred shares was unequivocally positive in fiscal 2012. However, for Volkswagen AG shareholders the year was also marked by pronounced volatility on the stock markets precipitated by the European debt crisis.

On the whole, Volkswagen AG’s ordinary and preferred shares performed very positively during the year in spite of volatile market trends. The securities not only increased in value year-on-year, but also outperformed the overall market and the sector.

In the interests of all stakeholders, we are pursuing continuous dividend growth so that our shareholders can participate appropriately in our business success. The Group is aiming to achieve a distribution ratio of 30% in the medium term.

Volkswagen Share – Key Facts & Figures

In 1961, Volkswagen first issued ordinary shares on the Frankfurt stock exchange with a nominal value of DM100 issued at a price of 350 percent. Two stock splits were performed in the course of time. Presently, the majority of the ordinary shares are held by the Group’s three biggest shareholders guaranteeing a stabile shareholder structure. In 1986, Volkswagen introduced its preferred shares as an alternative investment vehicle. In December 2009 the ordinary shares were replaced through the preferred shares in the German DAX stock index. Volkswagen is globally represented with a market capitalization of around €77.3 billion as of December 31, 2012. The shares are listed on different exchanges worldwide, among others in Frankfurt, London and Zurich. In the U.S., Volkswagen has 2 sponsored ADR programs, representing the preference and ordinary shares. Both are sponsored by J.P. Morgan and trade in the US on the over-the-counter (OTC) market.
