Based in Wolfsburg, the factory is one of the largest car manufacturing plants in the world.
It boasts the biggest factory floor of anywhere on the planet.
While it employs as around 70,000 people, much of the manufacturing work is carried out by its 5,000 robots.
This team of robots assist human engineers across the various stage of car production, helping VW churn out many of its most popular car models.
There are even stages in there process in which not a single person is involved at all.
During car painting, poisonous fumes get released, so this is solely taken care of by the plant's robots.
The plant also produces Volkswagen's tasty surprise bestseller - its own branded currywurst sausages.
Despite being best known for its family cars, VW actually sold more sausages in 2024 than it did vehicles.

The delicious snack has been produced by a dedicated team at the plant since 1973.
Dating back to 1938, the factory's staggering size allows it to maintain its high production capacity.
The factory halls measure more than half a square mile, while its network of roads measure more than 45 miles - as well as an additional 37 kilometers of railway tracks.
It has churned out many of VW's most iconic vehicles over the years, from the Beetle to the ever-popular Golf and Tiguan.
Mass production of the Beetle began in 1945, and 10 years later it marked its one millionth unit of the car.
But production ramped up further from there, with the factory celebrating its 10 millionth Golf on its 50th anniversary in 1988.
The 15 millionth Golf would have its finishing touches done 22 years later in 2010.
The plant typically produces around half a million cars a year according to its website, but it has reached not far south of a million in some years.
It churned out 815,000 cars in 2015 alone.
The vast factory is expected to be converted by 2030 into a multi-platform plant as automobile manufacturers all over the world prepare to ramp up electric car production.
VW was ranked as the world's largest car manufacturer by revenue in 2023.

We are taking REAL steps to tackle illegal migration that WILL deliver results & ensure fairness for Brits
WE will stop at nothing to tackle illegal migration. So this week we have delivered a world first: a new sanctions regime to target the vile people-smuggling gangs. The first sanctions are hitting these criminals today. 2 2 We will go after the gang leaders, those supplying boats and fake passports, and the moneymen. Their assets will be frozen. Their bank accounts will be closed. And they will be banned from the UK. For too long, governments have offered nothing but expensive gimmicks – like the Rwanda scheme which achieved precisely zero. Instead, we're taking real, practical steps that will deliver results. We've already returned 35,000 people with no right to be here – way up on the year before. We're working with Germany to close a legal loophole in their system, allowing police to seize small boats being stored and transported in their country. By working with France, we have agreed to a totally unprecedented returns pilot. Now, for the first time, migrants arriving by small boat can be sent back to France. Other governments tried to do this and failed. We're also taking a zero-tolerance approach to the illegal jobs which gangs promise – and which undercut honest businesses. Under our nationwide crackdown, raids and arrests are already up 50%. The Sun has rightly put the spotlight on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. And we're tackling the problem. A new agreement announced today will see us share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats. If a rider is staying at this accommodation, the companies will know and can close down the rider's account. Our message to the gangs is clear. We will be more aggressive than ever to smash your business model and hold you to account. We will do what it takes to uphold the law and to ensure fairness for the British people.

Controversial AI technology will assess disputed ages of UK Asylum seekers
New Artificial intelligence technology will be used to assess disputed ages of asylum seekers who say they are children, the Home Office has said. The facial age estimation system will be rolled out on an initial trial basis. Ministers hope to launch it for use on migrants arriving in the UK on small boats and lorries in 2026, subject to further testing of the technology to go ahead this year. The technology, trained on millions of images of people with confirmed ages, has been decided as the 'most cost-effective option' to assess ages in such cases where it is unknown or disputed, according to border security minister Dame Angela Eagle. The announcement on Tuesday comes as the borders watchdog report into Home Office age assessments said it is 'inevitable' that some decisions will be wrong without a 'foolproof test' of chronological age. The watchdog added this is 'clearly a cause for concern, especially where a child is denied the rights and protections to which they are entitled'. Currently initial age decisions are made by Home Office staff based on a migrant's physical appearance and demeanour. Announcing the move, Dame Angela said in a written statement: 'Accurately assessing the age of individuals is an incredibly complex and difficult task, and the Home Office has spent a number of years analysing which scientific and technological methods would best assist the current process, including looking at the role that artificial intelligence (AI) technology can play. 'Early assessments suggest that Facial Age Estimation could produce workable results much quicker than other potential methods of scientific or technological age assessment, such as bone X-rays or MRI scans, but at a fraction of the cost, and with no requirement for a physical medical procedure or accompanying medical supervision.' It comes as borders watchdog David Bolt's report also published on Tuesday looked at Home Office processes into age assessments, where those crossing the English Channel and first processed at Western Jet Foil, in Dover, Kent, make up a bulk of initial age decisions. Between January 2023 and January 2025, Mr Bolt said 20 out of 59 cases where a person was sent to Manston processing centre as an adult were then later sent back to Western Jet Foil and accepted as being a child. The independent chief inspector of borders and immigration said: 'The environment at Western Jet Foil, and the physical and mental condition of the migrants after a long, arduous, and perilous journey, make the already difficult task of assessing age even more challenging.' The report, which does not cover the Home Office's fresh announcement on using artificial intelligence, calls for officials to involve interpreters, social workers and experts in the process to gain more confidence in its decisions. Mr Bolt said many organisations who advocate for children believe the initial age decision process is 'crude and cruel'. He added: 'Over the years, and again during this inspection, I have listened to young people who felt disbelieved and dismissed by the Home Office, whose hopes have been crushed, and whose mental health has suffered. 'The Home Office has an uphill task in persuading these critics that it can be trusted in this area. Committing to better communication, engagement and collaboration would be a start.' During the visit, inspectors saw examples of a lack of cultural awareness, decisions that relied on generic physical characteristics, and questioning that focused on the migrant's credibility which should not form the basis of an age decision. Mr Bolt also cited concerns from local authorities and NGOs of examples of young people who felt pressured into signing a Home Office 'statement of age' document to say they were over 18 years old, or had not understood what they had been asked to sign. The chief inspector also called for both the Home Office and its critics to agree that some initial age decisions, that are opinion, are wrong, and that some migrants lie about their age. He added that this means not having a type of initial age assessment risks incentivising more to do so, which is not in the best interests of unaccompanied asylum seeking children. Responding to the report, the Home Office accepted all recommendations, including to carry out an evaluation of initial age decision training, and publish guidance on processes needed before someone signs the 'statement of age' form. The Refugee Council welcomed the Government 's response to the report, but also called for caution over the use of AI to determine ages. Chief executive of the charity Enver Solomon said: 'We welcome the decision to abandon intrusive scientific methods like X-rays and MRI, which we have long called for, but we are not convinced that replacing them with AI tools is the answer. 'These technologies continue to raise serious questions about accuracy, ethics and fairness. 'We call on the Government to implement reforms that prioritise professional assessments led by trained social workers, which is the most accurate way to determine age and ensure that every child is properly identified, supported, and given the chance to recover and thrive.'

ASM second-quarter bookings disappoint, cites order timing
AMSTERDAM, July 22 (Reuters) - Computer chip equipment maker ASM International ( opens new tab reported second-quarter bookings below market expectations on Tuesday, citing uneven order timing from chipmakers making advanced chips. The Dutch firm said order intake was "lumpy" and it expects orders from those chipmakers to pick up again in the third quarter. Analysts consider ASM one of the firms best positioned for the coming years as its sales mix is geared toward the cutting-edge segment strongly benefiting from the artificial intelligence race. But the global semiconductor equipment sector faces headwinds including tariff uncertainty, weaknesses at major customers Intel(INTC.O), opens new tab and Samsung( opens new tab and a sustained downturn in all other chip markets. "Second-quarter profits beat, but bookings and outlook for the third-quarter bookings point to stagnation", Degroof Petercam analyst Michael Roeg said. Bookings, the industry's most closely watched figure, came in at 702.5 million euros ($825 million) in the second quarter, against the 843 millions euros that analysts were expecting, according to a consensus compiled by researcher Visible Alpha. ASM also projected orders in the third quarter would fall below third-quarter sales, which it said would flat to slightly lower than the second quarter's 835.6 million euros. Second-quarter adjusted operating earnings were 263 million euros, a 31.5% margin, against market expectations of 223 million euros. "The market environment continued to show a mixed picture in the second quarter. Growth in AI is fueling ongoing capacity expansion... Conditions in most of the other market segments are still slow," the company said in a statement. On Wednesday, peer ASML ( opens new tab warned of delayed orders as chipmakers building factories in the U.S. await clarity on the potential impact of tariffs. ($1 = 0.8512 euros)
