Volkswagen has purchased 800 sets and 1400 sets of industrial robots from ABB and FANUC, respectively, for the transformation and upgrading of the factory production lines in preparation for the mass production of ID.4 and ID.BUZZ. These robots will mainly be used for the body manufacturing and battery pack assembly of new electric platform vehicles.
In the US market, ID.4 will begin mass production in the Chattanooga and Emden factories in 2022, while ID.BUZZ will begin trial production at the Hanover factory.
The mass production version of ID.4 was officially launched on the Volkswagen official website last week, and both North and South Volkswagen confirmed that they will produce localized models of ID.4, which will be launched next year. Unlike the frequent appearance of ID.4 in recent months, there is not much official information released about ID.BUZZ during this time, and Volkswagen has not yet released the final mass production model.
