27 January 2022, Saxony, Zwickau: An ID.5 rolls down the line at Volkswagen's plant in Zwickau. At the turn of the year, production of the new ID.5 model began at the Saxon plant; it is the sixth pure electric vehicle to be manufactured here. Like the other models, the vehicle is based on the Modular Electric Toolkit. Volkswagen has converted the site, which employs around 9,000 people, into a purely electric vehicle factory at a cost of ∑1.2 billion and has now completed the transformation to an e-site.
