Volkswagen, the German car manufacturer based in Wolfsburg, Germany, has been building cars since the 1930s. While some of Volkswagen's vehicle models have become cult classics, this devotion to the brand also extends to die-cast replicas.
Die-cast truck models have existed nearly as long as the trucks they were modeled after. Improvements in industrial die-casting and metallurgy have benefited the die-cast toy vehicle industry since its beginnings in the early 20th century.
Die-casting, by definition, is a process in which molten metal is injected into metallic molds under pressure to form objects. The molds, which are generally made of steel and referred to as “dies”, can be designed to create very detailed parts with little or no post-machining required after production. Die-casting is analogous in many ways to plastic injection molding.
