Beetle car stops production and sprouts car to bid farewell to the historical stage
4hw.com.cn: on the 10th, after about 70 years of production and three generations of design, Volkswagen Beetle will officially stop production. The last beetle produced by the company will drive off the production line at the factory in Puebla, Mexico, on Wednesday local time. Volkswagen will hold a ceremony at the factory to celebrate the shutdown of the beetle.
Volkswagen said the plant would be used to produce a compact SUV for the North American market in the future, but declined to give more details.
Volkswagen announced last September that it would stop producing the 'beetle' compact car in 2019. Volkswagen said that the last beetle off the line will be displayed at the Puebla Museum in Mexico.
