VW Poznań prepares to build the new Caddy

The level of automation in the bodyshop at Poznań will increase from 43% to over 80% with investment in 450 new robots

The expansion of the Poznań plant has taken over two years and changes included the construction of a logistics hall, expansion of the body shop and reconfiguration of the factory site

Preparations for full production of the new Caddy at the Polish commercial vehicle plant are almost complete according to Dietmar Mnich, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Poznań and plant director: “We have concluded around 90% of the capital investment for preparing the plant for production of the latest vehicle models, in particular the new Caddy. The first few vehicles for testing the production processes are currently running through the new facilities. We are planning to start full production in September and then to gradually ramp up the volume and ultimately reach full capacity in 2021.”
