German automaker Volkswagen has rolled out the 400,000th car from the manufacturing facility in Pune. The car is a Polo Highline for the domestic market equipped with the new 1.5-litre TDI engine.
Since the start of production at this plant in March 2009, more than four lakh cars have been produced for the domestic as well as over 32 export markets across three continents. The cars currently being produced at the Pune plant include Volkswagen Polo and Vento (in both, left and right hand drive version) and Skoda Rapid.
“The roll out of the 400,000th car is a testimony of Volkswagen running its India productions in a higher gear without compromising our highest quality standards. With this achievement under our belt, we plan to keep moving forward with a greater thrust to position ourselves as a committed car manufacturer in the Indian market,” said Andreas Lauenroth, Executive Director–Technical.
Mahesh Kodumudi, President and Managing Director, Volkswagen India Pvt Ltd, added, “We will continue to focus on productivity and further localisation to cater to the demand from our markets.”
