Volkswagen Uses ‘Escape Rooms’ to Train EV Assemblers
WOLFSBORO, Germany—Volkswagen AG is teaching assemblers how to produce electric vehicles at its flagship factory here. As part of the initiative, the automaker has opened an eMotionRoom where employees can enjoy an entertaining experience while learning about the transformation from ICE to EV production. It is part of a one-day training program called eMotionDay.
The eMotionRoom was developed in-house by the Volkswagen Group Academy and the plant’s organizational units. It has three intricately designed rooms. Employees must solve various puzzles and problems in each of these rooms within 20 minutes.
