Volkswagen Autoeuropa in Palmela, Portugal, is advancing logistics efficiency as it prepares for the ID.Every1 electric vehicle. The plant is part of the Zero Impact Factory initiative aiming for carbon neutrality by 2040.

Key figures include a €300 million paint shop investment and significant waste reductions: 30% in cardboard and 47% in plastic per vehicle. Between 2017 and 2025, the team implemented 724 packaging modifications, resulting in over 523 tonnes of waste reduction and €7 million in cost savings.
