Creating the supply centres and extended assembly area in detail
Assembly area extended, supply centres doubled in size.
Over the same time period, between autumn 2011 and late summer 2013, an entirely new supply centre was built for the body shop, the supply centre for assembly was built, and the assembly area itself was extended. Another milestone of the factory was construction of the “body shop supply centre” which is 280 metres long and 36 metres wide.
How the body shop was created in detail
Body manufacturing on 35,000 square metres.
Just for body manufacturing, 90 binders of documentation were generated – they were filled to the brim with many different approvals. They contained noise, air and fire reports, safety strategies and various other study results.
