  • 17 March 2021, Saxony, Zwickau: A Volkswagen ID.4 leaves a car park with other new cars for delivery. Even more electric cars are soon to roll off the production line at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau. In mid-April, the largely converted second assembly hall will switch to 3-shift operation. The aim is to produce more than 1400 vehicles a day by summer. So far, the ID.3 and ID.4 electric models have been built in Saxony. Production of other models is scheduled to start in Zwickau in the next few months: two of the Audi brand and one of the Seat brand.
