Volkswagen assembly hall for electric vehicles

Even in the Corona crisis, Volkswagen is consistently and systematically pushing ahead with the conversion of its plants to electric mobility. The core of the factory expansion in Emden is the construction of an almost 50,000 square meter assembly hall (Hall 20), in which only electric vehicles are to be assembled on the ground floor.

The new assembly line for modular electric drive matrixes (MEB) is to be built to the south of the logistics centre (Hall 9), which was built in 2012. The assembly will be divided into the following areas: hall with docking stations on the south and west façades, battery storage and sequencing. In addition, a three-storey peripheral building with offices and meeting rooms as well as technical and social rooms is planned. The approximately 6,500 square metre attic of Hall 20 also houses the large components of the technical building equipment. For this forward-looking construction project, the SÜLZLE Stahlpartner branch in Seelze has been supplying around 9,000 tonnes of reinforcement and welded columns since October 2020 on behalf of the Matthäi/Matthäi Betonbau VW Hall 20 consortium from Westerstede and Bremen. Completion was in the summer of 2021. From 2022, the all-electric compact SUV ID.4 rolled off the production line in East Frisia for the first time.
