Volkswagen Zwickau-Mosel Plant

Due to the traditions of automotive engineering in the region and because of the skilled workers potential, Volkswagen decided as the first large enterprise of the Federal Republic to build up a completely new plant in Saxony and provided for it considerable investments.

Already in the final phase of the GDR the Trabant 1.1 was built in the newer Mosel plant from 1989 with a four-cylinder four-stroke engine manufactured under VW license.

In addition, there are the bodies for the luxury class vehicles Phaeton and Bentley Continental GT, which are completely painted with special transporters in the "Transparent Factory" Dresden or after Crewe in England.

High-ranking persons from politics and economics appreciated the scientific and technical achievements of the car makers from southwest Saxony in their greetings.

Directly adjacent is also a factory of the supplier GKN Driveline, which operates out of the old VEB Saschenring part of the plant that was constructed in the late 1970 to manufacture Trabants.
