Last time I visited Shanghai for tourism, I also took a tour of SAIC Volkswagen's factory located in Anting Town, Jiading District. The entire Anting International Automobile City is massive, not only housing the factory but also equipped with R&D centers and testing grounds. I remember the tour guide mentioning that vehicle production started here as early as 1984, manufacturing popular models like the Tiguan and Passat. Shanghai, as the headquarters, indeed boasts a convenient geographical location—close to the port for faster parts transportation and a complete industrial chain in the Yangtze River Delta. If you buy a Volkswagen, the code on the windshield starting with LSV indicates it was produced at the Shanghai factory. We car owners often check this to distinguish the production origin during chats.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the layouts of various automakers. SAIC Volkswagen's main production base is concentrated in Anting, Shanghai, covering an automotive industrial park of nearly 10 square kilometers. In addition to the Shanghai headquarters, it has branch factories in Nanjing, Ningbo, Changsha, and Urumqi. Choosing Shanghai as the headquarters is quite wise, as the Yangtze River Delta has mature supporting facilities and a concentration of talent. I've noticed that different plants produce different models. For example, Anting focuses on mid-to-high-end models, while volume-sellers like the Lavida are distributed to other factories. If you pass by Jiading District, you can spot the iconic blue factory rooftops from afar.

My friend works at an auto parts factory in Anting and often talks about the SAIC Volkswagen assembly workshop next door. The core production base is located in Anting Town, Jiading District, Shanghai. Driving along Cao'an Highway, the entire factory area stretches as far as the eye can see. They use flexible production lines where models like the Teramont and ID series electric vehicles are produced on mixed lines. The Shanghai plant places special emphasis on intelligent transformation, and I've heard him say there are more robotic arms than workers in the workshop. On weekends when visiting Anting, I saw camouflaged test vehicles running trials at the proving ground.
