Editing Transparent Factory (section)

==Car factory==
The factory originally assembled Volkswagen's luxury sedan, the [[VW Phaeton|Phaeton]]. It used 60,000 magnets in its fully automated assembly line.  Spare capacity was also used to build [[Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005)|Bentley Continental Flying Spur]] vehicles destined for the European market until 2006, when all work was transferred to [[Bentley]]'s plant in [[Crewe]], [[England]]. Production of the Bentley Flying Spur resumed in late 2013. The factory only handled final assembly. Operations such as stamping and welding and the painting of the steel bodies took place in [[Zwickau]]. Painted bodies arrived at the factory by truck. The other 1200 parts and 34 preassembled components were shipped to a logistics center and are transported to the factory by [[CarGoTram]]s that run on Dresden's public transport tracks. All vehicle production at the factory ended in March 2016, before restarting again in 2017. The [[Volkswagen ID.3]] is produced here since 2021, sharing production with the [[Volkswagen Zwickau-Mosel Plant|Zwickau-Mosel Plant]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lambert |first1=Fred |title=VW adds production of ID.3 electric car to another factory in Germany |url=https://electrek.co/2019/11/19/vw-production-id3-electric-car-factory-germany/ |website=Electrek |date=19 November 2019}}</ref>
