Vollhards-Wiesgätter, officially Vollhards-Wiesgätter KAG, is an Englean automaker known for the production of middle-class vehicles. It currently stands as the largest and flagship marque of the Vollhards-Wiesgätter Group, which also contains Kreimler and Reichsautowerk. The company also stands as the third largest Englean car brand, after BMV and Merzedes-Benz.

The company's history began with Dr. Wilhelm Vollhards, who was an engineer that worked with Dr. Ernst Merzedes during the early years of the latter's company from 1917-1921. After a small dispute with Merzedes, Vollhards decided to create his own company with the creation of the Vollhards V-01. The V-01 was designed as a "People's Car" (Volkswagen), using a simplistic design and less resources to construct in order to reduce the price for the vehicles. With this idea in mind, Vollhards sought to have the company serve as the primary competitor to Merzedes through the production of vehicles that would be affordable to the common peoples of the Kaiserreich. Eventually his mission would be aided by the addition of Konrad Wiesgätter, whom had joined the company from BMV in 1928. The first cooperational vehicle created by the pair was the VW-02, which was a sedan that would serve as the basis of the "workhorse vehicle" of the Kaiserreich from 1933-1959 - the Vollhards-Wiesgätter Güterwagen.

During the Second Great War, the company would be contracted by the Englean government to create transport vehicles to support the war effort against Damsmar. The most produced vehicles during this period were the VW Güterwagen and the Reichsautowerk Opel, which served all branches of the Reichswehr until 1962. VW also created aircraft and small boats, including the light transport aircraft VWF-56 and the VWS class light patrol boat. Following the conclusion of the war, VW returned to the production of vehicles. This culminated in the rise of the Volkswagen as the most popular car class in the Kaiserreich during the Cold War period.

The nature of the vehicles produced during the Cold War brought about the concept that Volhards-Wiesgätter vehicles were widely reliable and "impossible to kill." Because of this, the company enjoys a warm relationship with the common populace of the Kaiserreich and even admiration from the noble classes. In the 21st Century, VW has established a firm position within the Kaiserreich and the world as a reliable middle-class car manufacturer.

VW currently produces vehicles in nearly every continent in Sunalaya: in Strandsberg in Corentia, Chateauroux in Varlais for the Ventismarian sector, and (ENTER).
