The fascination of automotive engineering

Book tickets

Stay tuned – this is where something new is created

The Transparent Factory is entering a new phase of transformation. Until mid-December 2025, you can still experience how the ID.3 is manufactured here. From 2026, this place is to become a platform for science and innovation - together with TU Dresden. What does this mean for you? More to see, more to discover, more to understand. The fascination of automotive engineering can still be experienced, and in the long term there will also be insights into current research and development: from artificial intelligence to new mobility concepts. The starting point is January 29, 2026.
