VW future in Saxony: Cupra Born or move to Wolfsburg?

rumors about a possible shift in the production of the Cupra Born within the Volkswagen Group are currently circulating. While the current plan provides for the Cupra Born and other electric car models to run off the assembly line in Wolfsburg and Emden from 2027, there is speculation that production could continue to take place in Saxony, especially in Zwickau. This information was published by news38

A VW spokesman was reluctant to see the rumors, but he referred to Daniela Cavallo, the works council chairman. This has made it clear that there are no plans to move the production of the Cupra Born to Wolfsburg. According to Cavallo, the production of the Tiguan and the Id.3 is currently so well that the assembly line 1 is already sufficiently busy. The Cupra Born could only come to Wolfsburg if the volume of the Tiguan allows this.

sustainability in e-car production

Another aspect that should not be unnoticed in this context is the environmentally friendly orientation of the VW works in Saxony. These have taken several measures to improve the environmental balance and reduce CO2 emissions in recent years. The works in Zwickau, Dresden and Chemnitz move into a large part of their green electricity from Volkswagen Kraftwerk GmbH, which generates sustainable energy through hydropower plants and wind and solar parks. For example, a solar park of Enerparc AG in Mosel at Zwickau delivers around 5.5 million kWh of electricity annually, which corresponds to the energy requirement of around 2,200 three-person households ( Volkswagen ).

The city of Saxony not only shows engagement in the field of e-mobility, but also receives more and more environmentally friendly energies that reduce the CO2 footprint of vehicle production. This is an important step for the entire industry and a clear contribution to sustainability, which is also valued by the population.

await the decisions

The final decision on the whereabouts of Cupra Born production in Saxony or a relocation to Wolfsburg is still pending. The next strategic planning round in winter could bring more clarity here. The developments within the VW Group continue to be observed closely, because they not only influence production processes, but also economic framework conditions and jobs.
