Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, Chairman of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand, said: "The decision to build a new model at Autoeuropa in Portugal is based on the competitive cost level at the Setubal facility as well as the positive framework which was established in cooperation with the Portuguese government and labor representatives."

Volkswagen Autoeuropa is today one of the most advanced automotive plants in Europe, producing 79,896 Volkswagen Sharan, SEAT Alhambra, Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Eos vehicles at the 2,000,000 square meter facility in 2005. Volkswagen Autoeuropa has a workforce of 2,790 people.

Details of the new model will be announced at a later date.
