By the end of 2014, Jiading-based Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) has completed production of 12 million cars, the first of its kind to reach that goal in China.
SVW took only half a year to increase its production from 11 million to 12 million, with an output of over 4,800 cars per day.
Technological innovation is the key to the constant development of the company. As early as 1996, SVW had established its technology R&D center. Its investment in R&D has maintained double-digit annual growth in recent years. The center, with 11 professional departments and over 1,500 employees, has formed a sound R&D system by now. Due to the rapid development in R&D, SVW has the advanced capacity for complete vehicle development and produces more and more auto series for consumers.
