Volkswagen Expansion Project

The Volkswagen Group Test Center California in Oxnard California has expanded their already colossal testing facility. Newly renamed the Oxnard Engineering Campus (OEC), they have finished an expansion project that furthers the state-of-the-art development center’s capabilities and encompasses additional entities within the company under a new name. Supporting Volkswagen Group brands including Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley and Porsche, work at the Oxnard campus is focused on powertrain engineering services that support product development, governmental compliance and emissions testing with an enhanced focus on electric vehicle range testing and analysis.

“The next few years are going to be transformative for the Volkswagen Group as we are introducing our first long-range battery electric vehicles,” said Johan de Nysschen, Chief Operating Officer, Volkswagen Group of America. “The campus has been completely upgraded to further support the successful development, design and testing of products that will be sold in this market.”

“This expansion strengthens Volkswagen’s testing abilities and product development support for not only the North American region but globally,” said Matthias Barke, Vice President, U.S. Testing, Volkswagen Group of America. “We are equally pleased to bring Design Center California under the same roof as our testing team.”

This is an amazing project that the Volkswagen Group has accomplished. We are looking forward to seeing all of the new vehicles they will produce with their new space and technology. Volkswagen is in a time of evolving and becoming greater than ever. Tune in to see all of their amazing new products in the works.
