The central goal: to offer customers, visitors and guests a holistic experience of the ID. Family - starting with advice and test drives, a tour of production, co-construction of the ID.3 and modern event formats through to the handover of electric vehicles. A further focus of the strategic reorientation is the expansion into a research and innovation location, which is driving forward innovative projects in small series for later use at large volume locations in the Volkswagen brand. In Dresden, customers, visitors and guests can find out how the Volkswagen brand is shaping the mobility of the future. On a one-hour tour, they can experience first-hand how the ID.3 is manufactured by Volkswagen. The highlight of the visitor offer is a free test drive (45 minutes) through Dresden with the current ID. models. Dresden's largest public and partly solar-powered e-mobility station was built directly at the Transparent Factory. It has been in operation since April 2017. Volkswagen Saxony and the state capital of Dresden have also entered into a cooperation agreement. The aim is to develop Dresden into a model city for electromobility and digitalization. The Transparent Factory has been cooperating with external start-ups in various formats since 2017. Initially, the collaboration took place as part of an incubator program on mobility topics, now in individual projects with a focus on digitalization and AI topics for production and logistics. …

Information for the Press Area: 1,800,000 m2 Production: 204,000 vehicles, 11,100 luxury bodies (as of December 2024) Models: Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5, Audi Q4 e-tron and Sportback e-tron, and Seat Cupra Born; bodies: Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus Employees: 9,200 permanent staff (incl. work-study degree students and vocational trainees; as of December 2024) PlantThe Zwickau vehicle plant covers a total area of 1,800,000 m², corresponding to 252 soccer pitches. ProductionThe plant at Zwickau produces only all-electric vehicles such as the Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5, the Audi Q4 e-tron and Sportback e-tron, and the Seat Cupra Born. The start of the ID.5 production in January 2022 completed the Zwickau plant's transformation into a multi-brand location for electric vehicles. The last combustion vehicle was produced on 26 June 2020 – signalling an historic milestone. Around 204,000 vehicles were produced in 2024. Since the plant was founded in 1990, almost 7 million vehicles have rolled off the production lines. Zwickau is playing a key role with the start of production of electric vehicles. For the first time, a large car factory has been completely re-equipped for electric mobility for a total of 1.2 billion euros. The Zwickau plant produces six electric models for three Group brands. Zwickau also manufactures the bodies for the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus. Environmental protection and energy managementThe integration of environmental protection in all business and decision-making processes is a key element of strategic decisions at Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH. Production processes at the Zwickau site are continually optimised to ensure that production is as environmentally compatible as possible and to conserve natural resources. Efforts focus in particular on the reduction of energy consumption and the use of green energy, and, as such, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions at the plant. …

Green power projects deliver a total of about 1.1 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2024This way, Volkswagen converts the use of ID. customer vehicles in Europe currently powered by “grey” electricity to green power in overall terms Annual growth of this commitment planned in line with sales of ID. models As a pioneer, Volkswagen supported the large-scale expansion of renewable energies in Europe at an early stage. Currently, the automaker is engaged in a total of 26 green power projects in nine European countries. The company has now drawn a positive interim balance. Since 2021, the green power projects supported have fed a total of about three terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity to the European power grid. This figure corresponds to the annual energy demand of about 800,000 households. Through these efforts, Volkswagen is making a key contribution to decarbonization. An ID.4⁰² powered solely using the EU green electricity grid mix already has a lower CO₂ footprint than a comparable diesel model after about 66,000 km. This is the result of a life cycle analysis*. “We plan to step up our commitment in the field of renewable energies each year in line with the development in sales of ID. models,” says Andreas Walingen, CSO and Head of Strategy of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand. “Through the large-scale development of European wind and solar farms, we intend to support our customers in the region in their efforts to always use their ID. vehicles in a net carbon-neutral way. This shows that our commitment to sustainability goes far beyond the electrification of …

Of this, over €4 billion per year will come from the present negotiations on labour costs, structural and production measures and plant utilisation.Labour costs alone will be reduced by €1.5 billion per year. Following intensive negotiations between Volkswagen AG, IG Metall and the Works Council, a joint agreement entitled ‘Zukunft Volkswagen’ [Future Volkswagen ] has been concluded. The company and the Works Council are thereby jointly positioning Volkswagen AG for sustainable success. To this end, the company is realigning production capacities at Volkswagen AG's German locations. It is creating the conditions for a reduction in labour costs of €1.5 billion per year at the collectively agreed level with an agreement on the company wage settlement until 2030. The short-term effects in labour costs and the agreed structural measures through capacity reduction and a decrease in development costs will lead to cost effects of over €4 billion per year in the medium term. In addition, a reduction in capacity of 734,000 units across the German plants is planned. This will enable Volkswagen AG to lay the foundation for important investments in future products through to 2030. The structural realignment of the company at an operational and collective level will create the conditions for achieving the return-on-sales target for the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand in the medium term. A full and final assessment of the impact of these cost effects on the Group's operating profit in 2025 and subsequent years will be made in the coming weeks. At this point in time, the company does not expect any significant impact on the outlook for the 2024 financial year. The ‘Zukunft Volkswagen’ agreement sees Volkswagen AG and the employee representatives agreeing on a vision for the company that combines job security, financial stability and a leading technological position in the field of sustainable mobility. …

The Volkswagen plant occupies a total area of 4,300,000 m². In addition, the premises also include space used for vehicle shipping and a vehicle test track. TransformationThe Volkswagen brand is consistently and systematically moving forward with plans to convert its plants to electric mobility. As of 2022, the north is electric, too: the Volkswagen Emden plant is the first site in Lower Saxony to be converted for the production of electric vehicles, a process that has been ongoing during live operation since 2020 – setting a new milestone in the accelerated ramp-up of electric mobility within the framework of the ACCELERATE brand strategy. To achieve this, new structures and existing systems have been integrated precisely in order to 0o1 ptimally prepare the site for future demand. The ID.4 has been rolling off the production line at Emde n since May 2022, with the four- door fully electric ID.7 following suit in summer of 2023. This year, a third fully electric model will follow: the ID.7 Tourer. ProductionThe declared aim of the Volkswagen plant in Emden is to produce environmentally friendly vehicles in an environmentally friendly production process. In addition, high production quality is the key to success, because quality generates customer satisfaction and is therefore a critical factor in terms of pricing and competition. Volkswagen has invested more than 1 billion euros in the site for the future-oriented production of electric vehicles. …

At the same time, the brand, with its conventional model range, focuses on highly desirable and profitable SUVs, including the very popular Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport - both manufactured in Chattanooga - as well as Tiguan and Taos, both built in Puebla, Mexico. The Golf R⁰⁴ and GTI⁰⁵ as well as the Arteonhelp sharpen the brand image. Volkswagen has created more than 4,000 jobs at its Chattanooga facilities.
