An interactive look at the automotive industry in Thuringia

Manufacturing processes in the automotive industry are many and varied, and a great many of them are represented in Thuringia. The state’s location in the center of Germany and Europe means that automotive suppliers are handy to everywhere and have the best possible base for economic growth. Five highways connect Thuringia to all major cities and manufacturing centers. A truck can be in any major city in Germany within five hours.

Now there is an interactive application that reveals the expertise and breadth of automotive production happening in Thuringia, right down to the tiniest component. From A to Z, they’re all there: Adam Opel AG to Zwerrenz Automatisierungstechnik GmbH and everyone in between. All the details can be found at <link http: www.virtuelles-automobil-thueringen.de _blank external-link-new-window>www.virtuelles-automobil-thueringen.de, where interactive simulation lists not just the companies but also all the vehicle components made in Thuringia. From chassis, interior trim, control panels and instruments to the electrics, bodywork and engine - the virtual car shows which elements and components are made by which of the automotive suppliers in Thuringia. It is very obvious, even after just a quick look, that the automotive sector in Thuringia can provide virtually every skill and supply almost every vehicle part. All the information is available in German, English, Russian, Chinese and Spanish. (td)

The ‘virtual car’ application shows: there is no competence and component which cannot be provided by the Thuringian automotive industry.
