Individual components are delivered to the plant from other Volkswagen plants and external suppliers via a separate logistics centre outside of the city. Two zero-emissions logistics trains powered by electric motors (CarGoTrams) shuttle between this delivery and warehousing terminal at Dresden's "Freight Transportation Centre" and the "Transparent Factory".
