The New York Times visits FDTech

Last week, journalist Jack Ewing traveled from New York for a few days to take a closer look at the transformation of the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau into an all-electric site. The traditional site in western Saxony is the world's first mass-production factory of a volume manufacturer to be completely converted from vehicles with combustion engines to electric drives.
During his visit to FDTech's headquarters in Chemnitz on Tuesday last week, Jack Ewing showed great interest in how suppliers and partner companies are keeping pace with this consistent conversion. He also asked about the public's acceptance of e-mobility and where we think German car manufacturers stand in relation to autonomous driving.
Ewing had already held several talks beforehand, first at Volkswagen in Zwickau of course, but also with the President of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Max Jankowskyand the Managing Director of the Chemnitz Regional Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Zwickau Torsten Spranger. There was also an appointment with the Mayor of Zwickau, Constance Arndt.
Ewing traveled to Chemnitz especially for the personal interview with Karsten Schulze and to get to know FDTech better. He was interested in the current state of development of autonomous driving. Karsten Schulze outlined processes and structures for Ewing and also reported on ourCADA - Chemnitz Automated Driving Alliance activities.
Jack Ewing's visit coincides with the first delivery of 3,000 vehicles from the Chinese car manufacturer BYD in Germany.
We are curious to see whether our classification of the automotive industry will be reflected in the New York Times. It remains exciting!
