晚上看NETFLIX紀錄片，聽到一段話，福斯汽車所在地Wolfsburg，工廠周邊人口約7.7萬人，其中6.6萬人在福斯上班，特別上網查了一下。
Wolfsburg is a city in northern Germany. It's known as the headquarters for Volkswagen and for the Autostadt, an automobile-themed park with a classic-car museum and driving track. The AutoMuseum showcases Volkswagen models and prototypes. Designed by Zaha Hadid, the futuristic Phaeno Science Center has hands-on physics exhibits. Planetarium Wolfsburg hosts astronomy shows. The Kunstmuseum displays modern art.
Wolfsburg狼堡市人口約12多萬，土地面積204平方公里，比原來的台中市(163)大一點，在這樣的小鎮竟然每年要製造上千萬輛汽車銷售到世界各地。
豐田汽車與福斯汽車顯然是兩大勁敵，拚世界第一。
日本汽車大廠豐田（Toyota）2020年上半年全球銷量超越德國車廠福斯（Volkswagen），賣出416萬輛汽車，六年來首度奪得上半年銷量冠軍。
豐田30日公布的數據，涵蓋大發（Daihatsu）、日野（Hino）等品牌的銷量；該公司上半年的銷量較去年同期下滑21.6%，原因是新冠肺炎疫情拖累需求。
福斯上半年的銷量為389萬輛，位居全球第二；日產-雷諾-三菱汽車聯盟上半年全球銷量合計345萬輛，連續兩年排名第三。
德國有狼堡，日本也有豐田市
自1938年豐田汽車設置以來，豐田市就以汽車產業作為發展核心的工業城市。豐田市舊名是舉母（Koromo）市，不過因為豐田汽車使該市能夠迅速發展起來，於1959年更名為豐田市。2005年日本國際博覽會的會場跨越豐田市、瀨戶市及長久手町等3個城市。豐田市土地面積約918平方公里，人口數約42萬人，算是一個中型田園型都市。
豐田未來城計畫: 2020，就在世界疫情爆發前，日本豐田汽車宣布要在富士山建造一處175公頃，廢棄汽車廠土地上，這裡將會有至少2千人進出。
LAS VEGAS — Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) said on Monday it planned to build a prototype “city of the future” at the base of Japan’s Mt. Fuji, powered by hydrogen fuel cells and functioning as a laboratory for autonomous cars, “smart homes,” artificial intelligence and other technologies.
The plan for a futuristic community on 71 hectares is a big step beyond proposals from Toyota’s rivals
Toyota unveiled the audacious plan for what it will call “Woven City”, in a reference to its origins as a loom manufacturer, at the big annual technology industry show, CES.
“It’s hard to learn something about a smart city if you are only building a smart block,” James Kuffner, chief executive officer for the Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development, told Reuters.
The “Woven City” idea, under discussion for a year, is aimed at creating safer, cleaner, more fun cities and learning lessons that could be applied around the world, he added.
It will have police, fire and ambulance services, schools and could be home to a mix of Toyota employees, retirees and others, Kuffner said.
The development, to be built on the site of a car factory that is planned to be closed by the end of 2020, will begin with 2,000 residents in coming years, and also serve as a home to researchers.
Toyota did not disclose costs for the project, whose construction is scheduled to start next year, and which seeks to re-imagine a city, but executives said it had been extensively vetted and had a budget.
