- The German Automotive Association stresses urgent reforms in costs, workforce, and business models due to ongoing location challenges.
- Volkswagen plans a sharp cost-cutting strategy including up to 100,000 job losses globally and potential closure of four plants by 2034.
- Workers across Germany protest the austerity measures while the industry pushes to open production sites to foreign manufacturers.
- VW explores producing Chinese models in Europe to boost plant utilization, with a confirmed reduction of 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030.
"With regard to the ongoing and acute site-location problems, the automotive industry will have to implement further reforms and adjustments. This includes cost discipline, unfortunately also necessary personnel reductions and profound reforms of business models." Denying this need for action would be no option. "It is short-sighted and, because of its consequences, unsocial."— Hildegard Müller, President of the Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA), in a statement
