VOLKSWAGEN's NEW CAR EXPERIENCE |
Thursday, 11 May 2006 |
The 2 photos above were taken at Volkswagen's new
storage facility in Wolfsburg, Germany. The actual space that the
facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility
with the traditional design that is used primarily in the US. Not only
is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also
"retrieved" in less time and without the potential of being damaged by
an attendant. Collecting your new car is an event in itself. "In
a fully automated procedure, your new car is brought down to you from
one of the 20-story Car Towers. Large signboards in the Customer Center
show you when your turn has come. Then, you're handed the keys, your
picture is taken, the glass doors open and your brand-new car appears.
You're all set to go". Also, check out the transparent factory in Dresden by Billy T
