The VW Transparent Factory | The Edge | CNBC International
should look at the mexican one. thats the real one.
@outspolsis mmmmmmm is right
+Aluzcz – No need to be afraid troll. A high tech factory is an interesting experience no matter what country it’s in. Pretty stupid thing to say. Everybody has factories in Mexico now, even the Japanese.
@OMGWTFLOL Well of course because if they had a plant in China, Chinese would copy-cat everything they do, Mexicans … well Mexicans can’t/don’t do that…..
Hahahahhahaha no Nigga the real one is in Wolfsburg in Wolfsburg is the.main base and main Factory and it is the Biggest car Factory in the World
mexico is a shithole
The Awesome VW Phaeton. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. But while not having the most extravagant exterior, this car will make your rethink your judgment when you see the interior… Iv seen an older one up close in real, & it definetly looks like a Quality Limousine. Even on their base models & up quality oozes. Coming from a 2012 Golf6 GT R-Line owner.

*Dieselgate 1st anniversary: all diesel car brands in Europe are even more polluting than Volkswagen – study*
As Dieselgate turns one year old, a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) reveals that Volkswagen is currently selling the least polluting (Euro 6) diesel vehicles. Nonetheless, the marque caught cheating in the US also has the most grossly polluting Euro 5 vehicles on the road, which were sold between 2011 and 2015. The better performance of Volkswagen Euro 6 cars has nothing to do with the Dieselgate, but with better technology choices made before the scandal burst. The report Dieselgate: Who? What? How? also found that not one single brand complies with the latest air pollution limits (‘Euro 6’) for diesel cars and vans in real-world driving.
T&E analysed emissions test data from around 230 diesel car models. Data were taken from the investigations conducted by the British, French and German governments, as well as a large public database. The carmakers’ ranking was built with on-road performance figures mostly measured in real world driving. The key findings per car brand are: Fiat and Suzuki diesel cars on average pollute 15 times more than the legal NOx limit; Renault-Nissan vehicles exceed the limit more than 14 times; General Motors’ brands Opel/Vauxhall pollute 10 times more while Volkswagen diesel cars pollute twice as much as the Euro 6 standard.
Greg Archer, clean vehicles director at T&E, said: _“One year after the US caught Volkswagen cheating, all carmakers keep selling grossly polluting diesel cars with the connivance of European governments. The automotive industry has captured its regulators, and European countries must now stand up for their citizens and stop this scandalous cover up. Only a recall of all harmful diesel cars will clean up our air and restore credibility in Europe’s legal system.”_
*29 million ‘dirty’ diesel cars and vans driving on Europe’s roads today*
T&E’s calculations also show that today 29 million diesel cars and vans are driving on Europe’s roads that we classify as ‘dirty’, meaning that, for Euro 5 cars, they are at least 3 times over the relevant NOx limit. Only one in four diesel vehicles registered since 2011 achieve these modest thresholds. These vehicles were approved for sale by national type approval authorities, mainly in Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The largest number of ‘dirty’ diesels is found on French roads (5.5 million), followed by Germany (5,3 million), the UK (4,3 million), Italy (3,1 million), Spain (1,9 million) and Belgium (1,4 million).
_”The true scandal of Dieselgate in Europe is national regulators turning a blind eye to the glaring evidence of test cheating with the sole purpose of protecting their national carmakers or their own business. This is killing tens of thousands of people annually. We need a European watchdog to stop EU member states protecting their national champions and to ensure the single market for vehicles operates in the interests of all citizens,”_ Greg Archer said.
Cheating on environmental regulation is not a victimless crime. This causes premature deaths. The World Health Organisation has described worsening air pollution levels as a “public health emergency”. Last year, the European Environment Agency said that NO2, mainly created by diesel engines in urban areas, is responsible for an estimated 72,000 premature deaths in Europe. The majority of NO2-related premature deaths occur in Italy (21,600); 14, 100 in the UK; Germany (10,400); 7,700 in France; Spain (5,900) and 2,300 in Belgium.

GIVE IT A REST. EVERY COMPANY THAT SELLS DIESELS ARE UNDER SUSPICION AT THIS POINT. WANT TO JUDGE A COMPANY GO AFTER TAKATA THE SCUM THAT SOLD MILLIONS OF DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS.
Yes….so is every other car manufator. Mitsubishi motors is worse
3:22 Canadian maple wood! The finest.
4:13 malo nas je al smo dobro rasporedjeni 😉
Ala je upečatljiva ahahah Bosna u <3
i meni je to za oko zapalo, tako ako bude falio koji seraf znamo koga da krivimo :))
most underrated car ever
what?
I still think the design is too basic, even though its made with quality material!
this is verry good.i wont a car woldwagn passt.i like you….
i belive in wolswagn .ilove you ….
I’d like to see the most recent VW coal engine!
is all the factory transparent ? I doubt it. They must have a section of the factory that is hidden and that is where they install the “emission cheat I mean lowering devices”.
fd11fd33fd99 haha true! I’m not buying diesel motors anymore, no matter from which brand, but especially vw
Ya, that factory design will make the car cheaper.. NOT!!! Then again, if your production run is a limited vehicle, it may work fine… But you’re not going to put 300,000 cars through that factory. To many choke points. Always cool to take a tour of plants like this…
👍
Rotary engine is not only Bankel type, innovative engine is about to be born, can you understand?
the worst cars ever made! Only engine problems, oil leaks,Chain distribution…etc! And the worst part is a 2011 car! (not so old)
Why is she driving on the pavement?
Woewwwwwwweeeee
Very good car of voksvegan
Only cocks suckers drive vw pieces of shit…
Height German quality 😉
they show her buttoning her coat, but i guess that didn’t work out so well
70,000 euros. That’s a lot of cabbage.
Volkswagen is the most corrupt operation that any country investigative service has ever found Dieselgate by far brought up some things about Volkswagen that were as corrupt as any business model.
Volkswagen is getting exactly what they deserve they will be insolvent inside of three years
No they won’t!
The moment you realize at 4:11 that a Bentley Continental GT is being made side by side the Phaeton!!
Just bought one 2013 VW Phaeton, an absolute luxury beast!!
@Sanjin Secerbeg Im also looking to get a 2012-2013, how has ownership been?
I need to place an order of two tons of VW Phaeton to go please..
wow
Qué? Ya no le cerró la bata? Jajajajajajja 2:23
good cars (except with DSG transmission), and all will be sold- even pre-production test cars 🙂
http://www.thedrive.com/news/25421/volkswagen-illegally-sold-pre-production-test-cars-instead-of-crushing-them
Dsg transmission is the best
1:37 I really want one of those car models! 1:44 I really want one of those pillows, why didnt mine come with one?!
Cars are a waste of resources and lives.
The wheel was not design, it evolve with its inefficiency and problems.
Wtf you talking about? If it wasn’t for cars you would still be shitting in a hole in the ground
6:42 – gib Softclose keine Chance.
Frauen
Good car sick management mind
Cool factory
But everybody in DD (Dresden) knows this is the Gläserne Manufaktur (transparent manufacture)
I’m still a big fan of the Pheaton (and Phideon). Think it’s pretty sad, this was a fail in the western world
