💡 Driving Digital Change – with Catena-X At IAA Mobility 2025, Volkswagen showcases how we are accelerating the digital transformation of the automotive value chain. Hauke Stars, Member of the Board of Management (IT), explains: "Making data transparent and sharing it in a structured way across brands and regions has significantly accelerated the digital transformation of the Volkswagen Group. I expect similar momentum from the Catena-X ecosystem, which we are jointly developing with our suppliers and other OEMs." The enabler: Catena-X – the first open data ecosystem with 190+ partners. It enables secure, standardized, and sovereign data exchange – from CO₂ reporting to material certification. The result: transparent collaboration, easier compliance, and higher efficiency. Read below: Christian Vollmer, Board Member Production & Logistics, shares how this transformation is already reshaping Volkswagen. 📍 Meet us at the Catena-X Readiness Fair at IAA MOBILITY. #AutomotiveTechDriver #TechForThePeople #TechDriver #IAAMobility2025 #CatenaX

🌍 What connects developing global talent and building a future ready workforce at the #TRATONGROUP? For Lucas Antunes, it’s all about aligning today’s development needs with tomorrow’s ambitions. As an HR Talent Management Specialist in Munich, Lucas leads the TRATON Global Trainee Program, a cross-brand initiative that has welcomed more than 300 graduates into our Group. Originally from Brazil, Lucas brings a rich background in strategy and engineering from his time at Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus. Today, he applies that experience to create a Group-wide learning structure that supports every brand while building a common culture of continuous #development. His goal? To empower the next generation of TRATON ambassadors, people who grow in their brands while thinking across borders. 🌎 What inspires Lucas most is the unique mix of cultures at TRATON: Swedish openness, German structure, Brazilian flexibility, and American clarity. And outside of work? He’s embraced life in Munich, exploring Europe, enjoying nature, and preparing to welcome his first child. ✨ Lucas’ story is a powerful reminder that when you combine people, #purpose, and #diversity, transformation isn’t just an idea, it’s already happening. 👉 Discover how Lucas is helping connect talent and culture across TRATON: https://lnkd.in/etSnm3tw #TransformingTransportationTogether #BePartOfSomethingBigger #EmployeeExperience

I am just returning from the IAA MOBILITY Munich, where we were invited by our partners at AUDI AG to an evening event organised around their new car model. For AUDI AG this is not just a new release, this is a new beginning, the first expression of a new design philosophy, expressed as: Radical Simplicity, Clarity. To me, this feels just right. The car’s exterior design is very pure, reminescent of Audi’s roots but also very modern. But the boldest expression of AUDI AG’s new philosophy is inside the car. Instead of playing the race towards an ever larger screen in the cabin, AUDI AG decided to embed a rather small screen, which folds and disappears under the dashboard. From a positioning point of view, the focus on simplicity and clarity is exactly what I think we need. With the AI era, the value for OEMs, across industries, will not be in providing more content, but filtering content to optimize the cognitive load on the users. AI also gives the opportunity to provide much more naturally the exact information that the passenger needs at any moment, not more. This is also how Neural Concept envisions user experience. In our collaboration with AUDI AG, we hope that this software experience philosophy, into the hands of engineers, will then translate into the right experience for the consumer. Picture with Marwan Khiat who was lead designer on the interior of the car.
