Wolfsburg, September 14, 2018 – With the opening of three new FAW-Volkswagen vehicle plants at three locations – in Qingdao, Foshan and Tianjin – as well as the #Volkswagen FAW Platform Tianjin Branch component plant, the #Volkswagen Group is strengthening its localisation strategy in China. With the opening of a second vehicle production plant in Foshan, a mega plant has been built at the South Chinese location. In addition, vehicle and component plants in Tianjin, northern China, were bundled at a single location. Together with the existing gearbox plant, further synergies will be used there to increase production efficiency. All four new factories significantly increase the flexibility of #Volkswagen Group China to react more quickly to customer needs.
At the recently opened FAW-Volkswagen factory in Tianjin alone, over 300,000 SUVs will roll off the assembly line each year, thus forming the basis for #Volkswagen Group China's SUV campaign. With an
annual production capacity now of 600,000 vehicles per year, the Foshan plant plays a pioneering role in the #Volkswagen Group's electrification strategy ("Roadmap E").
