Following two years of expansion work worth €400m ($463m), Volkswagen’s commercial vehicle (LCV) plant in Poznań, Poland is almost ready to start full production of the new mark 5 Caddy van.
According to the head of VW Poznań, Dietmar Mnich, 90% of the capital investment needed for Caddy production (and for the Transporter 6.1 Kombi van) is now complete, including a new logistics hall providing 46,000 sq.m of storage for components. The inclusion of the logistics hall in the main site will save up to 260 truck trips a day between Poznan and the former logistics facility in Swarzedz. It will store engines, bumpers, side windows, door trim panels, bulkheads and fuel tanks for the Caddy and T6.1 Kombi.
