With an investment of 763.5 million dollars between 2022 and 2025, Volkswagen de México will modernize its production plant in Puebla with the construction of a new painting warehouse; while it will integrate a new internal combustion vehicle into its manufacturing lines.
This announcement was made at the facilities of the German firm, located in the municipality of Cuautlancingo, with the start of construction work on the new painting warehouse, which will be the first of the entire Volkswagen Group one hundred percent electric.
The new paint shop will have 100% electric bodywork baking processes and incinerators, using energy from renewable sources, from a wind farm, and which is the one that currently supplies this input to the vehicle production processes and assembly engines. This innovation represents a reduction of 29 tons of CO2 per year.
