How did the name of the public come from?

1, Volkswagen once named its series of cars after the wind and ocean currents on the earth.

2. Volkswagen Golf has nothing to do with golf. In fact, golf comes from German Golfstrom, which refers to the Gulf Stream. This famous warm current is related to atmospheric circulation and geostrophic force. Under the influence of the westerlies, it traveled south from the warm Gulf of Mexico along the Atlantic Ocean. Warm and humid air flow and precipitation make the climate in high latitudes in Europe quite mild. Even in the special climate of the Arctic Circle, the annual temperature in Roma and Murmansk can be maintained within the range suitable for human habitation. It can be said that the Gulf Stream is the lifeline to ensure livable Europe. So from this perspective, golf is still a temperature, strong, gentle and indispensable car name.

3. Volkswagen Passat comes from the German word passatwind, which means northeast/southeast trade wind in Chinese. This is the wind blowing from mid-latitude to tropical low latitude. In the Atlantic Ocean, it can launch a fleet from Europe and blow all the way to North Africa and South America. In the Pacific Ocean, due to the seasonal temperature difference between land and sea in Eurasia, the Indian fleet can sail from the subcontinent to the Middle East and from the Arabian Peninsula to East Africa in the northern hemisphere in winter. You can go back the same way in summer. Then Passat, as a car with both home and business, suddenly had an identity.

The name of Volkswagen Jetta comes from German jetstream, which means high-altitude jet in Chinese. This is an airflow belt that passes through the top layer of the convection zone in the middle and high latitudes of the earth from west to east. It is formed by the interaction between eccentric rotation force and the cold and hot circulation interlaced zone in the lower layer, especially in the middle latitude. Many planes will use this airflow belt when flying from west to east, so their distance is the same. Generally speaking, the flight time from west to east is usually about 20% less than other flights.

5. However, the naming method of Volkswagen in recent years has deviated from the tradition of "following the trend", and the naming sources of new cars are diverse. Touareg, for example, is a man from around the Sahara desert. "Tu" Tiguan is a combination of German words tiger and iguana. Phaeton and EOS come from Greek mythology.
