We’re proud to support key businesses
Our Fleet customers in key sectors like healthcare and food supply are working every day in the front line of the Coronavirus crisis to keep us all safe. At Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, we celebrate your contribution and stand by our Working With You promise. Our Van Centres will continue to do everything they can to support you at this difficult time.
The key businesses that continue to support the country during this crisis include:
