Introduction
The Transparent Factory
Concept
Not only has the advent of the exclusive
Phaeton led to the building of an
impressive production line in Dresden,
it has also engendered a polished and
precisely-functioning logistics concept.
The transparent factory represents a
significant milestone for Volkswagen’s
customer-oriented manufacturing
and delivery.
In addition to these outstanding technical
production details, purchasers of this
high-quality luxury-class automobile can
expect a perfectly-arranged vehicle transfer
with all of the pageantry suitable to such
a special event.
Production Line
Contrary to the popular opinion that
automobile manufacture is irrevocably
linked with dirt and oil, the vision of
manufacturing evident in Dresden depicts
production in an almost noble light.
The core of the manufacturing process
features overlapping conveyor belts floored
with fine wood parquet. The result is a
production line with an atmosphere like that
otherwise only seen in elite luxury sports
car plants.
