Volkswagen set the next production landmark in their young history with the roll out of 3,00,000th car from their Pune plant, where the company has been manufacturing the Volkswagen Polo and Vento along with the Skoda Fabia and Rapid. The plant, the construction of which began in 2007, was completed in a record time of 17 months and the first car rolled out from there in May 2009. In a period of just over four years, the plant has manufactured 3,00,000 cars for the domestic as well as the export markets.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Andreas Lauenroth said, “The roll out of the 3,00,000th car is indeed a matter of pride for us. The left hand drive Vento is a proof of the international quality products being manufactured at our plant in India. The Vento and Polo are being exported to over 30 countries from our facility in Pune. I would like to congratulate the entire team of Volkswagen India which has contributed greatly to achieve this landmark today.”

Mr. Mahesh Kodumudi, President and Managing Director, Volkswagen India Pvt Ltd, said, “The Vento in itself is a milestone for Volkswagen in India. Though it was a car designed and built for India, it got wide acceptance in the international market as well and slowly grew to reach even the left-hand drive markets. Today, this car has achieved another milestone by being the 3,00,000th car to roll out of Pune plant.”
