On January 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from AEG to AEG (German company). The result of the discussion was moved.

NAG, NAG, NAG

AEG also had a car div, Neue Automobil Gesellschaft (NAG). In 1908, it sold cars called Darling & Puck (BION), & 1931's 212, designed by Paul Henze (1 of top Ger car designers) intro the V8 (a 4540cc) to Ger car mkt. Trekphiler 13:45, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to create the article yourself. Removed the split tag, as it's more a request for a new article than a split of this as such. Bjelleklang - talk 11:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And this society was removed (i don't know the year). ÉOLE79000 (talk) 20:13, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Electricity ? Electric ?

Elektrizitaets in this particular instance actually means Electric and not Electricity.

I moved this comment from the article to here. It would be a valuable contibution if someone with a good command of German could clear this up (and modify the English translation of the name if needed). Thanks. - Fils du Soleil 01:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A minor question

OK, I don't know if it's this company or the microphone company AKG, but when I watch anything WW2-related or read any WW2-related books, this tends to pop up over and over again in the acknowledgements list (or "Special Thanks To" in the credits of films/documentaries) for archival footage/photographs pertaining to this period. Which of the AEG companies would hold the company archive that would hold that type of WW2-related stuff? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.193.158 (talk) 01:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AEG 1939 - 1945

Surely AEG did more in the Second World War than is stated in the article? The obsession with slave labour and concentration camps, stinks of a very serious bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.26.51 (talk) 14:02, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In 1994 : AEG meets Westinghouse

If you see, in the article “Breda VLC” in the french version of WP, he said AEG Westinghouse 1504 A, an motor made in italy or made in germany/USA made in 1994 for these 24 trainsets with one prototram like these ! ÉOLE79000 (talk) 20:09, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reparations

I'm not happy with Stephenamills's change from "In an effort to express regret" to "In a perceived effort to express regret". It smacks of editorialising, see MOS:DOUBT. AEG corporately did express regret whatever the editor's views about the individuals concerned. I'm reverting the change, bring any discussion here.

Trustpilot rating needs to be removed

I think the trustpilot rating needs to be removed, or at least clarified and moved from the introduction. There are at least three reasons:

It is unclear from the wording which products this refers to. I suppose it is appliances, but it is not clear. Since the brand is now used, as stated, by a variety of companies with different backgrounds (some with in-house R&D and manufacturing, others merely labelling imports) there can be no single rating for "AEG". AEG as such is no more, so I cannot have a rating.
Assuming this is for appliances, it seems pretty much typical. Bosch has 1.5 (assuming this is for appliances, Worcester Bosch has 4.6) and even Miele (which is a top brand and a lot more expensive than AEG) has 1.3 in Sweden and Belgium (but 1.7 in Germany and 4.2 in the UK). Those ratings seem a bit odd, and the AEG rating isn't untypical. Furthermore, I doubt the users know what they do, I am sure lots of people who bought a cheap, chinese-made "AEG" lightbulb for a few pennies and are surprised they don't last, put in a comment for "AEG".
I cannot find similar entries for other companies, at least not in the introduction.

In short, this is misleading. I am in no way affiliated with AEG or Electrolux and I would probably not buy an AEG appliance since they closed almost all of their factories in Germany (and yes, I tend to spend my money locally if possible), but this is not appropriate.--2001:BB8:2002:2400:B409:ECC5:6FAF:ADC8 (talk) 15:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
