Wolfsburg, 7 October 2004 - In July 1973, Volkswagen presented the first Passat, which was to become a future world best-seller. Exactly 31 years later, Volkswagen celebrated the production of the 13 millionth Passat. Produced at the Emden plant, the Passat reflects a typical success story for the brand. Like the Beetle, the Passat was simply destined to become a global success. The sales figures are truly unbelievable: 13 milliĀon units - in simple statistics this means that 1,149 Passats were delivered on a daily basis for over three decades (2003: 3,000 each workday). It is a best-seller par excellence in Europe as well as in China, South Africa, Australia and the USA.
