Well, if it's Vario-based, at least the chassis (Ludwigsfelde) and the engine were built in Germany. BTW, what a horrible monster indeed. |

Ludwigsfelde? So it's a IFA W50-successor |

Technically, the 2nd-generation T2 ( introduced in 1986 and built in Düsseldorf until 1993) was its predecessor, but who knows, a good deal of the workforce surely was already working there when the W50 was still in production. |

In Ludwigsfelde there may be some workers from IFA-times left - but for sure not any employees in the Düsseldorf-plant from Auto Union-times. |
