It is also a public outreach initiative aimed to share Volkswagen’s product range and brand values with Malaysians – its distinctive philosophy, safety technology, ‘Think Blue.’ attitude and cutting-edge innovation that go into the German-engineered Volkswagen fleet,” said Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Malaysia Dr Zeno Kerschbaumer.
