FAZ: Volkswagen started looking for a buyer for the Russian plant

by archyde

The German automaker Volkswagen (VW) is looking for an investor who will be ready to buy out its plant in Kaluga. Writes about it Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) with reference to sources. “With each stage of the escalation, the likelihood that we will be able to produce there again in the foreseeable future is decreasing,” the newspaper quoted one of the sources as saying. “We have an unequivocal desire to completely withdraw from the country,” another source close to the VW supervisory board quoted FAZ as saying. According to the newspaper, the company’s management came to the conclusion that this is the only way out in this situation.

Volkswagen responded to media inquiries that they were considering various options for the future of their Russian business, including selling to third parties, but a decision has not yet been made. VW, like many other foreign automakers, stopped production in Russia in the spring. Last week Nissan announced about plans to sell plants in Russia, a little earlier Toyota announced the cessation of production in the country.

Used car check: VW Polo shows almost no defects at HU

Used car check
VW Polo shows almost no defects at HU


10/05/2022 08:01 am

The VW Polo is a size smaller than the Golf, but almost as iconic. The small car has been on the market in various generations since 1975. What good is the VW Polo in editions five and six as a used car?

The VW Polo is one of the largest small cars on the market. Because it now has similar dimensions to the Golf 3 from 1991. In the general inspection (HU), the five and six generations under consideration performed better than the average of the models in this class that had been checked – with gradations, however.

model history

The original model of the evergreen from Wolfsburg, which has since been built well over 18 million times, came onto the market in 1975. The five and six editions considered here made their market debut in 2009 and 2017. There were facelifts in 2014 and 2020.

body variants

The fifth edition rolled off the assembly line as a three- and five-door model, the 6-series is only offered as a five-door hatchback. No fundamentally different shape, but a hint of off-road look: Between 2009 and 2014, the Cross Polo was manufactured with plastic paneling on the fenders, side skirts and doors.

Dimensions (according to ADAC)

5th generation: 3.97 to 3.98 meters x 1.68 meters x 1.45 to 1.49 meters (LxWxH), trunk volume: 280 to 952 liters;

6th generation: 4.05 to 4.07 meters x 1.75 meters x 1.44 to 1.45 meters (LxWxH), trunk volume: 305 to 1125 liters.

Strengthen

The chassis is comfortably balanced, so that the manoeuvrable Polo is now also doing well on long-distance journeys. The selection of assistance systems is large. According to the “Auto Bild TÜV Report 2022”, the current Polo does not show any weaknesses in the braking function at the HU.

However, many components of the predecessor are also solid: on the chassis side, above all, drive shafts, steering system and steering joints, as well as the rear lighting and indicators.

Also almost flawless in all years of construction: the brake lines and hoses. The emissions test (AU) is usually not a problem, the engine control harvests almost no complaints.

weaknesses

Number five suffers mainly from springs and dampers; Spring breaks are found at the fourth and fifth HU. Then the chassis can show rust or the parking brake can cause problems. The low beam reaps a slightly higher defect rate from the third check, and the brake discs already show increased wear at the second HU. According to the report, the foot brake of the Polo 5 has above-average defect rates in all years.

breakdown behavior

With regard to breakdown behavior, the ADAC writes that specimens from the year 2012 were first registered ended up in the middle of the club’s breakdown statistics. The rest are in good places. The ADAC did not notice any statistically significant breakdown areas.

The engine

5th generation: petrol engines (three and four-cylinder, front-wheel drive): 44 kW/60 hp to 162 kW/220 hp; Autogas (LPG): 60 kW/82 hp; Diesel (three and four-cylinder, front-wheel drive): 55 kW/75 hp to 77 kW/105 hp; 6th generation: petrol engines (three and four-cylinder, front-wheel drive): 48 kW/65 hp to 152 kW/207 hp; Natural gas (CNG): 66 kW/90 hp; Diesel (four-cylinder, front-wheel drive): 59 kW/80 hp and 70 kW/95 hp.

market prices (according to the “DAT market mirror” of Deutsche Automobil Treuhand with each statistically expected kilometers):

– Polo 1.0 BMT Trendline, three-door (2015); 55 kW/75 hp (three-cylinder); 83,000 kilometers; 5875 euros.

– Polo 1.4 TDI BMT Highline, five-door (2017); 66 kW/90 hp (three-cylinder); 93,000 kilometers; 9700 euros.

Porsche shares start trading at 84 euros at the IPO

by archyde

Die shares of the sports car manufacturer Porsche started trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on Thursday morning at EUR 84. Immediately after the start of trading, they were already above the issue price of EUR 82.50. In early trading, however, the price fluctuated between these two values. The Stuttgart luxury car manufacturer was valued at around 76.5 billion euros for its stock market debut and is therefore considered a hot candidate for the German stock index (DAX).

“We successfully floated Porsche on the stock exchange. Today is a good day for Porsche and for Volkswagen,” said Volkswagen CFO Arno Antlitz shortly before the initial listing. “Porsche is very well positioned to continue its successful strategy and to benefit from more agility and entrepreneurial independence,” he said. Also VW will benefit because the group will have more clout to move forward in the direction of electromobility.”We want to use the funds we have gained for this.”

At 9:15 a.m. sharp, Porsche boss Oliver Blume, who also heads the parent company VW, rang the symbolic stock exchange bell together with his chief financial officer, Lutz Meschke. He thus brings a project over the finish line that whole armies of business lawyers, consultants and investment bankers have been working on for months, the IPO of the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart.

DR.ING.H.C.F.PORSCHE VZOI

To the detailed view

The issue price was set at EUR 82.50 per share, the upper end of the price range most recently targeted. Trading begins at 84 euros. But then the stock gives way and falls by 1.5 percent in the first few minutes, but shortly afterwards it goes up again. The participants had certainly imagined the signal to be clearer.

“Challenging Environment”

Almost 114 million preferred shares of Porsche come with the initial public offering – English IPO – on the market, even if a large part goes to anchor shareholders such as the Qatar Investment Authority and the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund. The sale of the paper brings in 9.4 billion euros for the parent company VW. In terms of issue volume, it is the largest IPO in Germany since 1996, when Telekom celebrated its debut on the Frankfurt trading floor.

Before the first few minutes of trading, in which those responsible stared spellbound at the price board in view of the fluctuating price, Blume had still been emotional. “A dream come true,” he said. CFO Meschke also emphasized the historical significance of the step. “We have been building sports cars at Porsche for almost 75 years.” Today’s return to the stock market is “an important day” for the company, even though the environment due to the war in Ukraine, the strained supply chains and other global crises is “challenging”. However, Porsche has “repeatedly shown that we are successful in difficult times”.

nervousness beforehand

The hustle and bustle of the Porsche team shows just how nervous we were beforehand. A run was already made on Wednesday. Who has to stand where and when? When is which interview in front of which camera? Even if it is a return to the stock exchange for the company, it is new territory for those responsible today.
