MANAGER, G1 – “SMALL” PRODUCT LINE

Can you tell us more about the cars for

India prepared by your team?

The successors of the currently produced

ŠKODA and Volkswagen cars are being

developed by specialists in the Technical

Development, Planning, Quality, Purchasing,

Controlling and Sales Departments, led by

the G1. We take carou about development

and preparation of the production of the

new platform and cars of both brands, but

also for the project's economy. Based on the

market analysis, we have been preparing

four new cars, two from each brand: an SUV

and a sedan on the MQB-A0-IN platform.

The platform is adapted to local conditions,

requirements and possible localisation. The

financial aspect of the project is affected by

the approximately 40 % lower price of cars

in India compared to Europe, which excludes

the use of parts from European suppliers.

How do you want to achieve your

financial goals?

We focus on the details and pay attention

to the costs. From the beginning, we have

engaged Indian colleagues and suppliers

in the technical description of the parts

phase. During the workshops, 128 Indian

companies discussed how our requirements

differ from other automobile companies in

India. After the analysis, few hundred savings

measures were incorporated into the

technical requirements. Production Planning

has repeatedly redesigned the project of the

factorz expansion in Pune to the required

capacity of roughly 180,000 cars per year.

We are currently at the point of about one

half of the estimated investments.

How does Volkswagen participate in the

preparation of its models?

Our Wolfsburg colleagues approve the

design and the differences between the

Indian and European models, and they are

responsible for the preparation of its sales.
