Pacific Automotive Network was formulated by former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn in 2007. This slogan is translated into English as TheCAr, which means that Volkswagen is the representative of automobiles. Winterkorn once said confidently: Only a company like the Volkswagen Group, which can concentrate many brands and products under its umbrella, has the right to claim to master the true meaning of automobiles and become a symbol of automobiles. In general, "volkswagen" is a trademark of Volkswagen, and "dasauto" is just an advertising slogan.

The German word "volkswagen" refers to the general public's car, and the literal translation of "dasauto" into English is thecar, which means car. das is a neutral article, indicating that the thing following das is inanimate, or the gender cannot be distinguished; auto means car in German.

The Chinese translation of DasAuto is the way of cars, only for the public. In addition, DasAuto is German, and das is just a prefix indicating part of speech, with no actual meaning. Nouns in German have a prefix indicating the part of speech, which means masculine, neuter and feminine respectively. Auto means car in German. In fact, DasAuto means the same meaning as car in Chinese.

DasAuto is translated into English as TheAuto, which can be understood like this: This is the car. Volkswagen (VolksWagenwerk in German) means a car used by the public. The car's logo has changed many times in its history. The VW in today's logo is the first letter of the full name. The Volkswagen Group's passenger car business is divided into two major brands. Audi and Volkswagen each independently manage their brand groups and are responsible for generating profits from them. Each brand has its own logo and operates independently, with products ranging from economical compact models to luxury sedans. (Pictures/Text/Photography: Chen Jie 2 of Pacific Automotive Network)
