The scene is Mexico, 10 July 2003. The last VW Beetle rolls off the production line - and with it a legend. A symbol of the German economic miracle, a film star and a cult object in its own right, the 'Bug' had a place in the hearts of whole generations. Today, the popular little car continues to fly the flag for the world's fourth biggest automotive manufacturer: Volkswagen. Nowadays the team from Wolfsburg offer a top-class mix of brands, from Volkswagen passenger cars and commercial vehicles, Škoda, Audi and SEAT to the start-studded names of Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Phaeton. All 44 production plants worldwide, whether at home in Europe or in far-off Asia, are subject to the same stringent security requirements. And Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH in Mosel, the centre of production for the Golf and Passat saloon and the manufacturer of car bodies for Bentley and Phaeton, is no exception. The 1,800,000 square metre site is now gradually being equipped with a digital locking system from SimonsVoss.
