After 116 years of operation, the plant in Zwickau no longer produces internal combustion engine cars. It's now all-electric

As of yesterday (June 26, 2020), the last internal combustion engine rolled off the production line at the Zwickau plant in Germany, as Volkswagen switched completely to all-electric models.
During some 116 years of operation, the plant produced more than 9.5 million vehicles, including more than 6 million Volkswagens, which operated at the site since 1990.
The last vehicle happened to be the seventh-generation Golf R Estate with a 2.0-litre petrol engine in Oryx White Pearl Effect.
Production of vehicles with combustion engine in Zwickau since 1904 (as of 26 June 2020):
