Volkswagen: VW-Vorstand plant Ende der Produktion in vier deutschen Werken
Geheimer Bericht für den VW-Aufsichtsrat, der Ende der Woche tagt: Die Produktion soll an vier deutschen Standorten zwischen 2031 und 2034 eingestellt werden. Niedersachsen dürfte es am stärksten treffen.
The management of Volkswagen has decided to cease production at its factories in Emden, Hannover, Zwickau, and Neckarsulm. According to the document presented to the company's supervisory board by Wirtschaftswoche, production in Emden and Zwickau is set to end in 2031, while operations in Hannover and Neckarsulm are scheduled to conclude in 2032 and 2034, respectively.
The report, titled "Report on the Supervisory Board Decision 3/4 September 2026," outlines the decision made by the VW board at the end of this week. The document bluntly states the dire state of Volkswagen, saying that existing business models and structures are no longer sufficient to ensure the long-term competitiveness and profitability of the Volkswagen Group.
The aim is also to stabilize the credit rating of Volkswagen AG, which in turn helps stabilize financing and refinance costs. Consequently, the management intends to present a comprehensive revitalization plan to the supervisory board. The secret plan goes far beyond what has been publicly disclosed, and it lies with Wirtschaftswoche.
