In Wolfsburg, Germany, Volkswagen have the latest in stock inventory… two massive car silos or garages that can hold 600 cars. Each silo is 200ft tall and links to the VW factory by a futuristic conveyor belt, meaning that when the cars are completed, they are transported to the silos to be stored until picked up or sent to their new owners.
The belt lies in an underground tunnel which also puts some final finishing touches to the cars such as adding a licence plate to the cars. The mileage is also set at zero at this point so customers can watch their car being picked up and delivered by the robotic arms just like in the Mission: Impossible movie Ghost Protocol, which had a futuristic garage in Mumbai, but in actual fact was inspired by the incredible VW silos.
