With the start of production of the ID.3 in January 2021, the Transparent Factory in Dresden has evolved into the "Home of ID." - and brings the "Love Brand" Volkswagen to life with a first-class visitor experience. During the tour, which is offered in various languages, visitors learn how the ID.3 is manufactured and what the future of mobility looks like at Volkswagen. Furthermore, customers and guests can even get up close to the ID.3 in production by accompanying the vehicle along the production line for a short time and trying their hand at it themselves - an exclusive and unique experience in the automotive world. In addition to advice on models and technology from a specially trained team of experts, various test drives in electric vehicles such as the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7 and ID. Buzz through Dresden will take place every day. After the Autostadt in Wolfsburg, the Transparent Factory is Volkswagen's second largest national delivery centre. In addition, the Transparent Factory, located not far from the city centre, is a top attraction and sought-after event location in the Saxon capital, hosting up to 150,000 guests and more than 200 events every year.

Premiere at the ID. Meet: apprentices from Volkswagen Sachsen present ID.5 GTX „Xcite“ show car
Volkswagen presents today the ID.5 GTX „Xcite“ to the public for the first time today at the ID. Meet in Locarno (Switzerland). This vehicle is an individual product made by apprentices at Volkswagen’s three locations in Saxony, at Zwickau, Dresden and Chemnitz. For one year, 14 of the best budding specialists worked on a project to demonstrate their skills with considerable creativity and responsibility under expert supervision – from the first design through the adaptation of the bodywork and paintwork to technical commissioning. In addition to sustainability, reflected by vegan leather in the interior, the main focus of this year’s project was on holistic mobility. The ID.5 GTX „Xcite“ already has on board an electric skateboard for the last few meters to the driver’s destination. This is the eighth project of its type completed since 2014.
