How can one reduce with 910,000 kilogrammes of cardboard packagings, 270,000 kilogrammes of plastic and 30,000 kilogrammes Nopaschaumeinlagen the clearing of woods and save crude oil resources? While all materials recycles and again to the raw material circulation are supplied. The fact that this principle is successful, the work of the Volkswagen environmental team points in 2009 once again.

The figures speak for themselves. It has started with about 200,000 kilogrammes of processed packaging material in 1994. Twelve years later the rate had already reached the 1.000-tonne brand. Topically the environmental team for 2009 announces a renewed increase of 1200 tonnes. A real successful principle, because plastics and foils, caps and cardboard packagings would be decontaminated teilweilweise about the trade rubbish similar to domestic waste at the owner's expense or be burnt simply. However, in Volkswagen they smash a new way. They are collected, cleaned, sorted and sold to material supplier of Volkswagen or to recycling enterprise. This is more efficient not only economically, but is of benefit also for the environment. The CO2 output which develops with the production of new materials is diminished in such a way, as well as also the natural resources are spared. At the end on an average 2.80 euros per vehicle can be saved thus.

This is an ecological and economic efficiency from which not only the Volkswagen group itself profits. Since the environmental team offers to on an average 60 performance-changed employees the chance to go on working. And to take over an esteemed job in the location Wolfsburg in spite of its personal restrictions. Finally, the quick stroke times which the work on the tape demands are not with pregnancies, chronic illnesses or injuries with remaining results feasibly.

Innovative technology
In the beginning the work in the environmental team was still a real manual labour. Cardboard packagings, foils, plastic foams and locking stopper were collected directly in the production line in containers, were brought to a central collective station and checked for defectiveness. However, the more packaging material in the final assembly resulted, the faster it became clear: An innovative technology had to go here. Today the transport fuses of plastic are not classed in the central collective station of the environmental team any more by hand, but by an automatic Sortieranlage, are sorted and supplied to the recycling.

System with model character
And the arrangement is already something special. It is unique in the German automobile industry and was developed in cooperation with the advanced technical college of Brunswick / Wolfenbüttel especially for Volkswagen. It recognises and sorts currently 120 different packaging elements and passes on the materials via air pressure in suitable containers. Some employees take over the job of the Befüllung of the arrangement and the withdrawal of the sorted material, as well as the presorting and packing the materials. Afterwards these materials are supplied to its original purpose again and thus becomes from the one-way package the Mehrwegverpackung. They recycled packaging materials Volkswagen sends back to about 36 internal and external suppliers against remuneration or sells them to recycling enterprise. Meanwhile similar systems are also used in our works in Emden and Hannover.

Today without work, the ideas and innovations of the environmental team numerous packaging materials would be decontaminated furthermore as a rubbish. Instead, the clearing of about 10,500 trees (spruces) could be prevented by the processing and the resale of the accumulated packaging materials since 1994 theoretically. Only in 2009 2.64 euros per vehicle were saved in this manner.

The mobile Haus-zu-Haus-Konzept of Volkswagen.

What have in common Wolfsburg, Wittenberg and Blank? Their inhabitants are more mobile than many others in Germany. By the phone call coach. The idea for it had the Volkswagen-group research already in the eighties – and it supports the project till this day. Freely after the motto „answers directly from the practise are better and better than all theoretical analyses.“ The leader at that time of the project, God's hard Heinzel, for the project start stressed this.

Behind the phone call coach an innovative conception with model character is. Since the Haus-zu-Haus-Service opens every practicable area up to the last square metre and brings the inhabitants in the rural area home. Certainly and comfortably. Above all in the traffic-weak times. A journey in the phone call coach does not cost more than quite a normal journey with the omnibus.

From East Friesland till Switzerland
The starting signal fell in 1992 in the high north. Here became, after several single tests, first the administrative district Blank (East Friesland) the centre of an extensive and successful pilot experiment. Still today the administrative district and its adjoining municipalities place on the mobile conception.

„What claps in East Friesland, must also function in the town“, imagined, finally, the decision-makers in Wolfsburg and adapted the system. The success on whole line which also drew the attention of neighbouring countries to the project. To all at the head of Switzerland. Here the mobile Volkswagen conception takes an important function already for many years under the title "PubliCar". Currently the mobile services there in more than 30 companies are in use an application – and belong to it to the traffic picture also like omnibus, taxi and road.

Needs of the passengers
In the course of the years Volkswagen has adapted the used vehicles constantly to the needs of the passengers. Above all in punkto equipment, entrance comfort, springs and place. For this the vehicles were equipped with the most modern engine technology. For the application come mostly the Volkswagen transporters of the type "Caravelle".

GPS optimises tour wishes
To offer very short waiting periods to the passengers, the necessary electronics and software was also developed in addition to the vehicle. With the help of GPS-satellite detection and data radio the tours are planned computer-aided. The arrangement headquarters sort and bundle up the arriving journey wishes. Thus the distances can be moved economically and ecologically so favourably as possible. Volkswagen developed for this together with the cooperation partner PPS EDP arrangement software especially developed for the phone call coach which is leading and is used, in the meantime, worldwide – also with the Swiss "PubliCar".

For interested municipalities and transport services an economic efficiency calculation programme was developed, besides, specially. It answers the question as the phone call coach is to be laid out in particular cases and how it is ordered around the economic efficiency of the company. Topically the system house deals for mobility, the company ABELLIO with the consultation, planning and conversion of the systems.
