2020 Porsche Taycan Production Line - Inside The Factory (4K)

2020 Porsche Taycan Production At Zuffenhausen Electric Cars Factory
Porsche is using a new factory in Zuffenhausen to build the Taycan, and the company released a bunch of footage from inside the building.

Instead of traditional conveyor belts to move cars along, Porsche uses individual “automated guided vehicle systems” to move bodies from one place to another. They’re like autonomous flatbeds moving along their designated routes along the factory floor. Porsche calls the process “Porsche Production 4.0.” There’s no shortage of people involved, though — Porsche says it hired 1,500 new workers to produce the Taycan.

Take a spin through some of the photos that Porsche provided from the factory floor, above. That’s history in the making, as the first electric Porsches are bolted and welded together in Zuffenhausen.

A new factory inside a factory
“We’ve built a factory inside a factory – in the middle of the city and close to our neighbours, in the most confined of spaces, in the shortest possible time and without disrupting the existing sports car production facility running at full capacity. Now the factory has been completed on schedule and without any major setbacks,” says Albrecht Reimold. “This was possible due to meticulous planning and an excellent team.” A total of 130 companies and suppliers were part of that team. One of the logistical masterpieces was coordinating the construction site traffic without impairing the significant regular flow at the plant. “Close dialogue with our neighbours was also crucial,” says Reimold. “We kept them fully up-to-date on developments throughout the entire course of the project.”

Some more figures: 10,000 construction site passes were issued, 530 construction site containers and three kilometres of site fencing were erected, and 35 kilometres of site power cables were laid, including power for the 1,000 linear luminaires distributed throughout the construction sites. Four kilometres of new road were also built within the plant.
The construction project included several individual subprojects, each itself with considerable scope. The result was a body shop, a paint shop, a plant for the production of electric motors and components, a vehicle assembly hall and the connecting transport technology. A total of 35,000 tonnes of steel were used for the new production facility – as much as for 140,000 Coupé bodies of the 991 generation of the 911 model line. The total area of the buildings amounts to 170,000 square metres.
