VW will construct a state-of-the-art plant near its existing Wolfsburg plant to rival Tesla's upcoming Berlin Gigafactory.
Final approval for the plant came late last week, with VW announcing it will invest some 2 billion euros on the site. Construction is to begin in the spring of 2023 and the first customer examples of the Trinity should be rolling off the line in 2026.
The decision to go with a new plant instead of upgrading the current Wolfsburg plant was to avoid the limitations of the existing structure and allow new production techniques to be introduced. VW said there will be fewer model variants, fewer components, more automation, leaner production lines and new logistic concepts.
