Dubbed the “Transparent Factory,” Volkswagen’s Dresden, Germany plant is an amazing facility. Not only is the plant itself brimming with the latest and greatest in manufacturing tech, but the plant is actually transparent thanks to a liberal use of glass.
When entering, the building looks and feels more like a museum or swanky office building than a car factory. But despite its breath taking architecture, the 187 million Euro ($240 million) facility is home to a production area covering 55,000 square meters.
It might seem odd for such a state-of-the-art facility to be needed to build Volkswagens, but the facility isn’t just building a Beetle or a Jetta. Its purpose is the build the Phaeton, VW’s full size luxury sedan.
Customers visiting the plant to see their vehicle being built are not only confronted with a VIP experience, but they’re also exposed to one of the most unique plants in the world. Check it out for yourself.
