125 Years of Opel Automotive Production | Live at Open Door Day

Today is a great day for Opel! Opel presented an exciting programme for their “125 Years of Automotive Production” anniversary. The motto of the festivities was “Forever forward since 1899”. Several thousand visitors got electrified by the public premieres of the new Frontera and Grandland, pop-up exhibitions, design icons, factory tours and much more. 125 years of automobile manufacturing in Rüsselsheim – this is a significant and impressive story. Ever since cars have played a role in our society, work has been done here day after day to make them even better. Generations of employees have made Opel the great brand it is today: an automobile company on the path to electromobility. You are once again facing the future – fearlessly and full of confidence. This is exemplary,” said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “Today is a great day for Opel and for our hometown of Rüsselsheim. We could share the sound business model of Opel and our bold electrification strategy. We will be the first German brand to offer a battery-electric version of each model in our portfolio this year still. With 125 years of experience in automobile manufacturing, we and our employees are proudly pursuing the path of electrification with conviction. We are also continuing to invest in the wellbeing of our employees with the new carbon neutral grEEn-campus that will be built here in Rüsselsheim,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.
