The Volkswagen Group PL71 platform is an automobile platform shared among three marques of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) (4x4s in the European market). It was co-developed by Volkswagen Group and Porsche AG, and is used by Volkswagen Group for its Audi and Volkswagen Passenger Cars marques. All current platform users share the production facility at Bratislava in Slovakia, with the Porsche Cayenne being finished in the Porsche plant at Leipzig.
Famous quotes containing the words group and/or platform:
“If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“It was a favor for which to be forever silent to be shown this vision. The earth beneath had become such a flitting thing of lights and shadows as the clouds had been before. It was not merely veiled to me, but it had passed away like the phantom of a shadow, skias onar, and this new platform was gained. As I had climbed above storm and cloud, so by successive days’ journeys I might reach the region of eternal day, beyond the tapering shadow of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
