What this company does

Volkswagen AG

Volkswagen AG makes cars and trucks under many famous brands like VW, Audi, Porsche, and Scania, with most of its money coming from selling these vehicles globally. This matters because cars are a big part of the economy, and how well Volkswagen sells them tells us about consumer spending and the health of the global auto industry, including its complex supply chain (the network of companies that help make and deliver products).
