• Planned capacity: 300,000 vehicles per year
• Neumann: "To meet the demand of our customers more
capacity is needed."
The Volkswagen Group is further expanding its production
capacities in China. Therefore, Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW)
is to build a new car plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.
"China has become one of the largest and one of the
most important markets for Volkswagen Group", said Dr.
Karl-Thomas Neumann, President and CEO of the Volkswagen
Group China (VGC) today at a signing ceremony in Ningbo.
To meet the increasing demand of the Chinese customers
more production capacity is needed, he added. "With our
unprecedented investment program, we intend to increase
our capacities in China to three million vehicles per
year by 2013/14."
The Ningbo factory is part of the China investment
program of €14 billion. To maintain its leading position
on the Chinese passenger car market, Volkswagen Group
China is investing this record amount in new models and
in the expansion of production capacities by 2016.
The new Ningbo plant is designed to have an annual output
capacity of about 300,000 vehicles per year and is
scheduled to be completed by 2014. A complete production
facility with press shop, body shop, paint shop and an
assembly unit is to be constructed. The new plant will
have a workforce of several thousand employees by
2015.
Shanghai Volkswagen has car plants in Shanghai (three
production lines) and in Nanjing. Another plant in
Yizheng, Jiangsu province is under construction. The
Ningbo plant will be the sixth production line for
Shanghai Volkswagen.
FAW-Volkswagen has car plants in Changchun (two
production lines) and one in Chengdu. The plant at Foshan
(under construction) will be the first car manufacturing
facility of FAW-Volkswagen in Southern China.
Together with its partners FAW-Volkswagen and Shanghai
Volkswagen, the Volkswagen Group produces more than 20
models of the brands Volkswagen, Škoda and Audi in China.
