Unique in the worldThe transparent factory makes the fascinating process of car production transparent to the world, establishing a link between technology, environment and people such as has never been seen before. Volkswagen is opening up a whole new dimension in public relations: the birthplace of the Volkswagen luxury-class car and a combination of manufacturing and event hosting unique throughout the world.
Transparency and opennessWhat others conceal, Volkswagen turns into a place of communication and interaction. The transparent factory offers visitors the opportunity to experience the creation of a Phaeton. It represents a piece of automotive culture, offering a transparency and openness only Volkswagen can offer.
Tradition and innovationDresden has a long tradition of craftsmanship and manufacturing. It was here, in 1709, that Johann Gottfried Böttcher produced the first white porcelain in Europe. In 1836 Andreas Schubert built the first German locomotive in the city. At Volkswagen's transparent factory this tradition is being continued with the production of the Phaeton. Applying innovative production methods closely oriented to the traditions of precision craftsmanship, each vehicle is built virtually by hand.
An unforgettable experienceCollecting their Phaeton from Dresden is a special event for all new owners. After taking a tour of the transparent factory and undergoing an introduction to the Phaeton, vehicles are ceremonially presented to their new owners in the Salon.
