EL INICIOEra el a&ntilde;o de 1954 y el hospital de La Raza (IMSS) acaba de entrar en funcionamiento, la contaminaci&oacute;n no asfixiaba nuestros pulmones y el tr&aacute;fico era inexistente en comparaci&oacute;n al de hoy. En marzo de aquel a&ntilde;o apenas iniciaba labores la nueva Ciudad Universitaria en la capital del pa&iacute;s, y fue el mismo lugar que alberg&oacute; (en el mismo mes de marzo) una exposici&oacute;n titulada &ldquo;Alemania y su industria&rdquo;, motivo por el cual entr&oacute; por el puerto de Veracruz un cargamento de cuatro peculiares veh&iacute;culos: dos Volkswagen Sed&aacute;n 113 en versi&oacute;n Export, un Volkswagen Sed&aacute;n Cabriolet y una Volkswagen Combi de pasajeros en su variante de lujo, los mismos que se mostraron en dicha exposici&oacute;n. Estos emblem&aacute;ticos veh&iacute;culos llamaron tanto la atenci&oacute;n que el expresidente mexicano L&aacute;zaro C&aacute;rdenas lleg&oacute; desde Michoac&aacute;n para conocerlos. La prensa public&oacute;: &ldquo;El hombre del pueblo con el auto del pueblo&rdquo;. Despu&eacute;s, fue conocido como el &ldquo;Vocho&rdquo;. Diez a&ntilde;os m&aacute;s tarde, en 1964, cuando en Xalostoc, Estado de M&eacute;xico, se construy&oacute; Volkswagen de M&eacute;xico, la marca alema na se dio cuenta que nuestro pa&iacute;s era una plataforma para su crecimiento en el mercado mundial, pero tambi&eacute;n, que esa planta ya no contaba con las cualidades necesarias para una expansi&oacute;n, as&iacute; que comenzaron a construir naves de producci&oacute;n en el estado de Puebla. El 27 de octubre de 1967 se termin&oacute; la edificaci&oacute;n de la planta y ese fabric&oacute; un &lsquo;vochito&rsquo; 100% mexicano. La planta tiene visitas diario, te reciben amablemente y te muestran todos sus alrededores a bordo de un VW descapotable, son m&aacute;s de 300 hect&aacute;reas llenas de historia y tecnolog&iacute;a dignas de recorrerse. Para contarles la historia del adi&oacute;s del Beetle, VW de M&eacute;xico nos permiti&oacute; recorrer sus instalaciones, iniciando la marcha por la &uacute;nica laguna natural, de las siete que tiene la firma alemana en esas instalaciones, y donde resalta la barrera de &aacute;rboles plantados por la misma compa&ntilde;&iacute;a, y donde diversas especies como patos conviven d&iacute;a a d&iacute;a.Pero en este lugar no solo se fabrican autom&oacute;viles, tambi&eacute;n se entrenan perros en su propio Centro Can&oacute;fino, lugar donde los amigos de cuatro patas (con sus respectivos humanos) son educados con el m&eacute;todo de psicolog&iacute;a positiva para disciplinas como: obediencia avanzada, detecci&oacute;n de dispositivos (celulares, c&aacute;maras, USB&rsquo;s y computadoras por aquello del secreto industrial), y guardia y protecci&oacute;n.LA PRODUCCI&Oacute;NLa planta tiene una extensi&oacute;n de 310 hect&aacute;reas que son m&aacute;s de tres millones de metros cuadrados, para que se den una idea, caben 436 canchas de f&uacute;tbol como las del Estadio Azteca; 195 hect&aacute;reas son &aacute;reas verdes y 115 est&aacute;n edificadas. Actualmente la f&aacute;brica produce cuatro modelos: Jetta, Tiguan, Gol y Beetle, pero ahora nos enfocaremos en &eacute;ste &uacute;ltimo, es su despedida y salida del mercado mundial as&iacute; que merece toda nuestra atenci&oacute;n, incluso podr&aacute;n leer la prueba del nuevo Beetle &lsquo;Final Edition&rsquo;, inmediatamente despu&eacute;s de este reportaje.Las naves -donde hoy se sigue produciendo este ic&oacute;nico auto- se construyeron en 1997, a&ntilde;o donde la evoluci&oacute;n del &lsquo;vocho&rsquo; comenz&oacute; a desarrollarse. Las instalaciones que se crearon en 1997 fabrican hoy en d&iacute;a el Beetle, y justamente aqu&iacute; es donde se hacen los trabajos artesanales m&aacute;s fuertes, para que nos entiendan mejor, el Beetle se produce en un 48% con robots y el 52% restante se hace con la mano humana. Una referencia es Tiguan, su nave se construy&oacute; en 2017 y el 98% del trabajo lo hacen robots. El tiempo tacto en cada &aacute;rea o proceso para la fabricaci&oacute;n del Beetle es de dos minutos, en este periodo se le realizan diferentes pruebas para que alcance la calidad necesaria.Diariamente se fabrican 180 Beetle&acute;s en sus dos variantes, cabrio y coup&eacute;; el primero se produce para Estados Unidos y algunos mercados de Europa, y el segundo para Am&eacute;rica. Esa misma nave comparte producci&oacute;n con Tiguan, que fabrica 750 veh&iacute;culos al d&iacute;a. Presenciar como se fabrica la &uacute;ltima edici&oacute;n del Beetle es en verdad emotivo, las largas puertas tienen su propia l&iacute;nea de ensamble y tardan 14 segundos en desplazarse rob&oacute;ticamente hasta la carrocer&iacute;a para ser ensambladas. Y no lo creer&aacute;n pero, el tablero pesa 120 kilos, as&iacute; que un brazo de robot lo trasladan al interior del auto para solo ser ensamblado por manos humanas, la uni&oacute;n entre la tecnolog&iacute;a y el hombre es uno de los legados que dejar&aacute; el popular &ldquo;escarabajo&rdquo;.Son cuatro l&iacute;neas en total que construyen al Beetle, cada una dura aproximadamente dos minutos con sus respectivos protocolos para llegar a la calidad requerida. Incluso, los robots alemanes -que hacen gran parte del trabajo- se encargan de unir la carrocer&iacute;a por medio de sus brazos con pinzas que en realidad son electrodos, solo basta que est&eacute;n en contacto para que generen un corto circuito que produce tanto calor que las piezas se funden entre ellas y se unen. Cada punto de soldadura tiene una raz&oacute;n de ser, cuando se recibe un impacto en el veh&iacute;culo, estos puntos fundidos y soldados por el robot sirven para transportar la fuerza del impacto hacia los costados y as&iacute;, disipar el golpe de cualquier accidente fuera de la cabina y proteger a los pasajeros del Volkswagen.La firma alemana es una empresa comprometida y produce veh&iacute;culos con cinco estrellas de seguridad, con estos procesos se establece que a pesar de recibir un fuerte impacto, las zonas de las personas quedan protegidas. Adem&aacute;s, el auto pasa por la cabina de soldadura l&aacute;ser, una importante &aacute;rea que sirve para fundir las piezas entre ellas mismas pero de forma completamente est&eacute;tica y perfecta, como si fueran una sola pieza, as&iacute; que adem&aacute;s de aportar seguridad al momento de un golpe, evitan que estas piezas se rompan, es decir, al unir las partes como si fueran una sola, en caso de impacto no habr&aacute; ruptura de piezas y para las personas no ser&aacute; peligroso.No puede exisitir una calidad perfecta si nose prueba el producto antes de ofrecerlo al cliente, as&iacute; que Volkswagen M&eacute;xico cuenta con su popia pista de pruebas, un circuito de 2.8 kil&oacute;metros de distancia donde todos los d&iacute;as se ruedan entre 2,100 y 2,300 veh&iacute;culos en manos de 126 pilotos especializados que realizan las pruebas de todos los veh&iacute;culos, el Tiguan, Beetle y Gol. El Jetta se prueba en una zona aparte (dentro del mismo circuito) porque tiene mayor n&uacute;mero de producci&oacute;n al d&iacute;a.Para este test, primero se escanea un c&oacute;digo que arroja el tipo de pruebas que se le debe realizar a cada unidad, despu&eacute;s los especialistas determinan si pasan o no las pruebas, entre estas est&aacute;n: valorar que las puertas funcionen correctamente, los asientos, cinturones de seguridad, espejos, luces y est&eacute;reo; despu&eacute;s pasan por una pista de ruidos en una zona con seis diferentes superficies para analizar la suspensi&oacute;n, los frenos o los diferentes sonidos para detectar alguna pieza o tornillo suelto, si es el caso, se ajusta y regresan a la pista hasta que aprueben al 100%.Las pruebas no terminan aqu&iacute;, los veh&iacute;culos VW tambi&eacute;n son calados bajo la lluvia. Existe una zona de recta prolongada y un simulador de tormenta para corroborar que no haya filtraciones. Al finalizar se limpia el coche y se env&iacute;a a los patios de distribuci&oacute;ncon la aprobaci&oacute;n de los pilotos y la calidad necesaria para su venta.Sin duda, la pista de pruebas es la parte m&aacute;s divertida y el trabajo m&aacute;s feliz para quienes tienen el placer de realizarlo, ellos mismos dicen que estrenar un auto todos los dias es lo mejor de su trabajo. De los 126 pilotos, seis son mujeres y el resto son hombres. Entre todo este proceso los veh&iacute;culos recorren -normalmente- entre siete y 15 kil&oacute;metros antes de llegar a los distribuidores para ser vendidos.La diversidad y oportunidades de crecimiento que Volkswagen ofrece a su gente es interminable, la calidad y seguridad que ofrece en sus productos es de adentro hacia afuera. Ha trabajado desde 1994 en la compa&ntilde;&iacute;a, su mirada viendo hacia lo largo de la planta y su peque&ntilde;a sonrisa en la boca nos cuentan orgullosamente que empez&oacute; desde t&eacute;cnico y ahora est&aacute; en la coordinaci&oacute;n.Ante la pregunta &iquest;Qu&eacute; sientes de que ya se va el Beetle?, &eacute;l responde: &ldquo;No es un adi&oacute;s, es un hasta pronto, este beb&eacute; tiene que regresar y evolucionar, yo lo s&eacute;, al igual que fue nuestro sed&aacute;n. Yo tuve uno rojo muy bonito, de los &uacute;ltimos...&rdquo; despu&eacute;s de unos segundos de silencio dice: &ldquo;se le extra&ntilde;&oacute;&rdquo;. Con brillo en los ojos Jos&eacute; Luis continu&oacute;: &ldquo;Cuando lleg&oacute; el Beetle volvimos a sentir, pero ahora con m&aacute;s adrenalina, con m&aacute;s velocidad, comodidad, confort, es una joya. Trabajar en VW es una experiencia hermosa y es un sue&ntilde;o para m&iacute;, el trabajo me apasiona, es una empresa que te deja llegar hasta donde t&uacute; quieras. Yo llegu&eacute; a VW haciendo un ex&aacute;men para ser jur&iacute;dico, ya estaba adentro, pas&eacute; por maquinados, hojalater&iacute;a, calidad, l&iacute;nea, y fui auditor del Beetle para mercado especial, lo he visto evolucionar y crecer. Su proceso de fabricaci&oacute;n es inquebrantable&rdquo;.
