Volkswagen AG
Volkswagen was founded in 1937 by the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front to mass-produce a 'people's car' designed by Ferdinand Porsche. Post-war British military oversight kept the Wolfsburg plant running, and the Beetle went on to sell more than 21 million units over four decades — the longest production run of any single car platform.
