• Transport sector’s most important international trade fair

• Ride-pooling shuttles support local public transport

Hannover/Hamburg, 11 October 2021 – The ITS World Congress opened today in Hamburg. Through until Friday (15 October) in hall 5, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) and MOIA are showing possible new uses being created through the development of self-driving vehicles. Industry visitors will take their place on comfortable MOIA seats in a model of the ID.BUZZ AD¹ in a standard shuttle configuration and experience on the screen how it is possible to organise autonomous transport of people and goods. “We see ourselves as the cities’ partners and want with these mobility services to make an important contribution to improving the transport offering and road safety”, explained VWCV Management Board Member Michael Obrowski to Hamburg Mayor Peter Tschentscher as they looked around the stand this afternoon. It is in his city that from 2025 self-driving shuttles from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and MOIA will go into use for the first time anywhere in the world.

• Josef Baumert: “We are actively transforming production and employees.”
• Efficient production: focus on automation and digitalisation
• Sustainable: reducing the environmental impact of the production process by 50% by 2025
• Plant remodelling continuing: ID. BUZZ launches next year

Hannover, 1 October 2021 – At Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) the first production vehicles of the new Multivan are coming off the line. It marks the first time that a Multivan with a plug-in hybrid engine has been made in Hannover. As well as the new drive system, the new Multivan provides greater comfort and safety, plus an innovative interior – and yet remains 100% a Multivan. The start of production is a milestone in the transformation process of the main VWCV plant. This, however, does not mean that the remodelling in the factory is finished: preparations are currently underway for production of the fully electric ID. BUZZ next year.
 

• Focus of the conference is on innovations like reusable food packaging, fairly produced and traded clothing and deliveries that don’t produce local emissions
• Included: the sustainable ID. BUZZ Cargo concept vehicle that will go on sale next year

Hannover/Amsterdam, 30 September 2021 – How can online trading be made more environmentally friendly? What new mobility solutions will there be? And where can I compare and order exclusively fair traded clothing? “The Next Web”, in short TNW, is the title of a conference in Amsterdam that focuses on these questions. Today and tomorrow no less than 3000 companies will present their products and services – both on site and digitally. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) is also there and already offers a look ahead at the cargo version of the future ID. BUZZ, an all-electric van. Dennis Haustein, head of market intelligence at VWCV, presents it at TNW in dialogue with three start-up companies who also have environmental friendliness as a focus area of their overall concept.

• Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles subsidiary provides new digital transport-on-demand solution
• Cito connects customers with courier services and creates transparency

Hannover/Berlin, 22 September 2021 – Their business are urgent items of freight: like the desperately awaited delivery of a replacement part to enable a production facility to resume operation. Or official documents needed in the original. Or a visa issued shortly before departure time, without which an urgent business trip can’t be taken. The team at Cito Transport Technologies GmbH in Berlin, a subsidiary of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, takes care of them. “What we deal with is everything that has to be with the recipient before the end of the day,” says CEO Dr Gregor Stock, explaining the new service. “Our customers simply enter their freight item size, collection and destination addresses on www.cito.ai – and our service does the rest.” One very practical feature is that the customers are shown the cost of transporting in the moment when they book. And they get an estimate when it will arrive at its destination. While the items are in transit, customers can track the drivers’ locations and pass these on to the recipients. Each collection and delivery confirmation follow with digital signature and photo documentation, as does the invoice.
