The final units of the e-Golf have rolled off the production line at Volkswagen's Transparent Factory, with the new ID.3 to begin production in January.

The Volkswagen e-Golf is history. On 23 December 2020, the last e-Golf, painted in Urano Grey, rolled off the production line at the Transparent Factory in Dresden. With that, a total of 50,401 units of the e-Golf have been manufactured in Dresden since March 2017.

At the beginning of the new year, the production area of the Transparent Factory will be reconstructed for three weeks before the first ID.3 series vehicles roll off the assembly lines in Dresden at the end of January.

With the end of e-Golf, the production floor at the Transparent Factory will be reconstructed for production of the ID.3

Danny Auerswald, head of plant of the Transparent Factory, "The end of the e-Golf is also the start of the final preparations for the ID.3. In just a few weeks, we will be opening the next chapter for the Transparent Factory. After Zwickau, we are the second location in Europe to manufacture vehicles based on the new modular e-drive system. Volkswagen is thus underlining the importance of the Saxon plants in the group-wide E-offensive."

At the beginning of 2021, the production area of the Transparent Factory will be converted to meet the requirements of the Modular Electric Drive Kit. The first conversions for the ID.3 already took place in summer 2020.

As one of seven stations, the 'marriage', where the body and chassis are bolted together, was adapted. The conversion measures in winter include, for example, the installation of a system on which the panoramic roof is fitted and the adaptation of the gripping devices for the installation of the cockpit and seat system.

The e-Golf was launched in 2014 and was produced in Wolfsburg until summer 2020. In 2017, the Transparent Factory started production in parallel to meet the high demand. In total, 145,561 left the two German production facilities in more than seven years. Measured by sales figures, the e-Golf is one of the most popular electric cars in Europe - especially with customers in Norway and Germany.
