Volkswagen plant - the eighth marvel of engineering

What cars are produced in factories, this is a well-known fact. But do you know what exactly such enterprises look like? Most likely, an image comes to mind of a conveyor belt, along which a car body slowly moves, overgrown with parts. But in reality, the scale of such facilities is much larger.

Take, for example, the Volkswagen plant, which is three times the size of Monaco, and this, for a moment, is a sovereign state in Europe! Every 16 seconds, one car rolls off the assembly line here. Imagine how many cars are produced per day? But even this is not all the scale that amaze the layman. The enterprise has at its disposal a network of roads 70 kilometers long and railway tracks 60 kilometers long. It's a city within a city!

A large and interesting video about the Volkswagen plant has been released on the YouTube channel "Discovery Channel Russia". Richard Hammond went on a journey to show us what the real art of engineering and the triumph of human-powered technology looks like. You will learn how cars are manufactured at one of the most modern plants, why 6000 bicycles, and what is the secret of the quality of cars from the Volkswagen concern.
