My store gives me the opportunity to talk to so many people. And suddenly, VOILA!!!! You win and the house pays double and you start winning again!! You put that single chip on a random number. If you are lucky, you are left with one last lucky chip. You can’t really see the numbers but you do see the white ball moving from black to red from 10 to 4 to 16 until finally it stops on a totally different number and totally different color than you chose. You can put all your chips on one number and color and you see the ball bouncing around as the roulette spins. I have been thinking about how this goes for our romantic relationships, too! Being in a relationship is like playing Russian Roulette. You might think that everything is going to hell and yet some miracle suddenly happens!

I also have learned that the only sure thing is that NOTHING IS FOR SURE! Just when you think that the planets are aligning for you and things are going your way, you can blink your eyes and POOF! It all changes! But the same happens when you think everything is NOT going your way. We learn and gather information and then we try to keep only what is valuable and useful. With reporting by Domenico Sciurti, Germany.One thing that consoles me about getting older is that I have gathered wisdom with my age or at least I hope so! Like all of us, years of situations and relationships have been great learning experiences and these learning experiences I take into my next situations or relationships. There are currently around 73,000 orders for the model worldwide. A total of 163,000 vehicles have been delivered worldwide since its market launch last year – “making the ID.4 the best-selling electric vehicle of both the Volkswagen brand and the Volkswagen Group”. “With the knowledge and experience gained in Emden, we will be able to drive the transformation of other plants quickly and efficiently.”Īccording to VW, the ID.4 quickly became a successful model after its market launch: In the first quarter of 2022, the group delivered more than 30,000 vehicles of the model. “The consistent expansion of the production network is key for the success of our global electric offensive,” explains Christian Vollmer, Member of the Board of Management for Production and Logistics at the Volkswagen brand. It will be joined from 2023 on by the ID.3 made in Wolfsburg, while a further electric vehicle – the Trinity – will then roll off the assembly line at the location starting in 2026,” Brandstätter continued. Buzz will commence this year at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in Hanover. “In addition, production of the iconic ID. Following the ID.4 with the Aero B as a saloon and as a Variant, further EV models are to be produced in Emden next year and the year after. “It helps us accelerate the transformation to zero-carbon mobility and create further capacities to meet the high demand for electric vehicles.”Īccording to Brandstätter, Volkswagen employs 130,000 people in Lower Saxony. “Rapid expansion of production capacities for our successful ID.4 model is a key component of our ACCELERATE strategy,” says Volkswagen CEO Ralf Brandstätter. Since spring 2020, more than 400 employees from Emden are said to have been deployed in Zwickau to prepare for the production of e-vehicles.

Production-related and virtual training courses were held and there was also an excursion with the VW site in Zwickau. Six new production halls and logistics buildings as well as five new conveyor bridges with a total of about 125,000 square metres were built in the course of the plant conversion. Although there were global challenges, VW stayed on schedule with its project. VW plans to invest a total of 21 billion euros in the federal state by 2026. VW invested around one billion euros in the conversion of the plant so that electric cars can roll off the assembly line there. From autumn this year, production for the US market will start in Chattanooga.Īccording to Wolfsburg, Emden is the first high-tech location for electric mobility in Lower Saxony. This means that the ID.4 is now built at the German sites in Zwickau and Emden as well as in the Chinese plants in Anting and Foshan. The VW ID.4 is now also being produced in Emden.
