Several people familiar with the discussions report that the supervisory board will be unable to complete the 2026 planning round.

The vote covers €135 billion for the next five years, compared with €165 billion in the previous round.

The planning covers new models, utilization of just over 100 plants, plus software, battery technology and automated driving.

The latest savings package remains only outlined, while the long-term future of four German plants remains unresolved.

Volkswagen plans to reduce company-wide costs by 20% by the end of 2028 to address ongoing profitability concerns.

CEO Oliver Blume stated that the savings target covers all brands and cost categories, totaling around €60 billion.

The works council has firmly ruled out any plant closures or layoffs, emphasizing socially responsible measures for employees.

CFO Arno Antlitz highlighted the need for continued restructuring since the current 3% profit margin is insufficient for strong investment.

There will be no plant closures with us.
— Works council chairwoman Daniela Cavallo emphasizes the agreement between the union and the company and the social compatibility of the measures.

Volkswagen's manufacturing continues uninterrupted despite China's export restrictions on chip supplier Nexperia.

Oliver Blume emphasizes the urgent need for political measures as essential standard chips face shortages.

Europe's reliance on Chinese supply chains is deemed precarious since Nexperia supplies about 40% of the continent's standard chips.

Porsche posted an operating loss close to one billion euros in Q3 but anticipates improvement starting in 2026.

But we need a rapid political solution.
— Oliver Blume, CEO of Volkswagen, in an interview with Bild am Sonntag.
