car towers

A landmark visible beyond Autostadt, the Car Towers store up to eight hundred new cars. The fully automated high racks move an average of five hundred cars to be delivered and picked up every day. The two cylinders each soar forty-eight metres into the sky next to the Customer Centre towards the eastern perimeter of Autostadt. The fully glazed hot-dip galvanised steel structure leaves space for a glimpse into each tower’s interior.

And another record!

New vehicles are kept on the parking spaces in the towers, ready for their new owners to arrive and pick them up. Before that, a rolling conveyor system carries the cars from the nearby plant to the basement where a car elevator brings them up to their final position in the towers. The whole storage process takes just one minute and forty-four seconds maximum. This earned the towers another record as the fastest automatic parking system in the world according to GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2014.

Straight from tower to owner 

The high-bay storage system springs to life for you to be able to pick up your new car. A loader and elevator brings your car down the tower before it passes through an underground tunnel and into the Customer Centre. This is where your new car’s licence plates are fitted before you can enjoy that new car smell.
