Volkswagen Group has nominated the first 44 suppliers who will be collaborating on a new common strategic level under the joint FAST (Future Automotive Supply Tracks) initiative.

The suppliers were chosen for their performance in their respective fields of competence based on a systematic selection process.

“In future, it will not be the corporation with the best negotiating skills that has the advantage, but the one that has also successfully established an optimal supplier network”, said Volkswagen procurement board member, Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz,

“The nominated FAST suppliers are important beacons in our network and I am looking forward to even closer and more intensive collaboration.”

The first group of nominated FAST partners and their respective fields of competence are listed below:
