VW plant Wolfsburg: Golf train itself in the visitor track history!

in Wolfsburg a lot is happening in the Volkswagen plant. There is a big change: the Golf as a towing vehicle of the visitor track is banished. This decision not only brings historical aspects, but also raises questions about future production. The famous Golf, which has been out of the assembly line in the main plant since 1974, is to be relocated to Mexico from 2027. This is of enormous importance for many in the region, after all, the Golf is not only a popular car, but also a piece of German automotive history.

The new visitor railway is upgraded by Volkswagen with fully electric vehicles. Guiseppe Lazzara, Head of Guest Relations & TV Studios at Volkswagen AG, announced that in the future, six ID.3 will be used with supporters who offer space for 15 guests each. The old visitor railway has had loyal services in recent years and has now been removed. On LinkedIn, an employee of corporate security shared a photo of this removal, which further documents the changes.

uncertain future for golf production

The relocation of golf production to Mexico is part of the discussions that are currently running in the company. VW management is in negotiations on a savings program and is considering various cost reduction measures. Official statements on the topic are unveiled and management emphasizes that no final decision had been made. The works council classified the reports on relocation as "speculation". So it remains exciting how the production of the popular model continues.

Traditionally, the decisive course for the production of new models in the planning rounds of the group are traditionally set. Currently, the Golf is only manufactured in Wolfsburg, but the work in Puebla, Mexico is considered a inexpensive location and with a long tradition in Volkswagen production. The beetle, the company's most famous car, was once built here. In view of the current economic situation and the associated negotiations on jobs and costs in the German works, there are certainly concerns on the part of the workforce.

future perspectives

The next round of negotiations will be scheduled at the beginning of next week and it is unclear whether new solutions can be found in the collective bargaining dispute. Synishes are sneaking up: other warning strikes of Volkswagen employees are in the room. Because many employees wonder how their jobs will continue, especially in view of the uncertain production plans. The automotive crisis is a big topic that affects everyone in the company.
