The Chengdu plant and the Volkswagen plant in Germany also implemented “targeted productionâ€. The so-called "standard production" means that every day the workshop will take out a car for quality inspection and compare it with the German Volkswagen factory to ensure the world-leading high quality of the "Chengdu-made" Volkswagen.
