Automobilkonzern: VW-Chef Blume: Müssen Kosten senken
Um geplante Sparmaßnahmen zu erläutern, trifft der VW-Vorstand an mehreren Standorten auf die Belegschaft. Der Vorstand erklärt dabei, warum die bisherigen Maßnahmen aus seiner Sicht nicht ausreichen.
In a speech to the workforce at the Wolfsburg plant, VW CEO Oliver Blume emphasized the need for further cost-cutting measures. "We must reduce complexity, streamline our structures, and cut costs," Blume stated during his address at the plant's assembly. This meeting served as the kickoff for a series of gatherings at various VW sites, where the management will face the workforce.
"Tariffs, new competitors, and geopolitical risks: the entire automotive industry is under immense pressure," Blume noted. The VW group has "taken early action" and begun to restructure the group and the brands. "Our market shares are growing, but that is not enough," Blume added. Since the announcement of additional austerity measures in recent months, tens of thousands of jobs and four plants at Europe's largest automaker have been struggling.
Following Wolfsburg, there are eight more plant assemblies planned in Braunschweig, Emden, Zwickau, Chemnitz, Dresden, Kassel-Baunatal, Salzgitter, and Hannover.
