VW Wolfsburg: Special shifts for T-giant-rush on combustioners!
Wolfsburg, Deutschland - In the VW plant in Wolfsburg, an intensive program with special shifts will be launched by the end of September. With these additional hours of work, the high demands for popular combustion models such as the Tiguan, Tayron and Touran are to be operated. [News38 reports that…] (https://www.news38.de/wolfsburg/vw/article300553304/vw-newsmit employee- Sonderchichten-Werksferksferksferks-dafuer.html). The employees should refill their working time accounts through overtime in order to secure themselves for the upcoming production declines. A clever move, because such special shifts have been carried out regularly in the main plant since the beginning of the year. According to the decision, the company and works council now work on all four assembly lines in order to keep the work arithmetic as high as possible.
The T-lines in which models such as the Tiguan are produced are particularly required. The additional layers on weekends, as well as Saturday work in the golf assembly lines, illustrate the great commitment. Working hours must also be done in the paint shop and body car. While the Wolfsburg production runs almost without interruption, the Emder plant has extended factory holidays due to a lower demand for ID.4.A look into the future
The pressure in the Wolfsburg plant has direct relevance for the strategic planning of VW. The flexibility of the location is seen as crucial for the long -term establishment of the company. Especially with regard to future challenges, such as the end of golf production in 2027, it is important that the time credit of the employees creates a buffer zone in order to be able to deal with changes better. A possible introduction of four-day weeks is therefore not excluded.
The surprising decision to increase production in Wolfsburg is also justified that in the first quarter of 2023 an increase in sales of over five percent compared to the previous year was achieved. This is particularly noteworthy because in the previous year production in the main plant was already higher than in the weak previous years, while other locations had to struggle with a decline in electric models. In 2023, VW plans to produce up to 600,000 cars in Wolfsburg, even if the technical capacity in the main plant is to decrease from over 900,000 vehicles to less than 600,000. ORF reports that ....
sustainability and production optimization
VW not only thinks of the production figures, but also of environmentally friendly ways of vehicle position. According to the [annual report of Volkswagen] (https://schafts report2024.volkswagen-group.com/konzernlagebericht/nachthaltigigen-wert-wert-wertml), the production capacity is reduced worldwide in order to realize more sustainable goals. A clear focus is on the process optimization and the minimization of the effort in order to deliver high -quality products at competitive costs. The company uses initiatives such as the digital production platform (DPP) to simplify processes and to reduce the environmental impact.
In the coming years, the path to an emission -neutral production will become increasingly relevant, and VW has already taken over 1,700 measures in the area of environment and energy. The developments related to vehicle production and logistics show that the group is willing to adapt new technologies and approaches. The use of battery -electric trucks and biogenic fuels on the Internet will play an important role in the future. So VW stays on track to face the challenges of the automotive future.
