Volkswagen: "Conflict only postponed": What the VW Supervisory Board decided – and what remains open
After the surprising agreement on the restructuring plan at Volkswagen, new conflicts are already looming. The Handelsblatt explains how the agreement was reached - and what else is being disputed.
Volkswagen's supervisory board has unanimously approved a package of measures aimed at securing the company's future, despite ongoing disputes. The board agreed to delay a decision on spinning off the VW core brand, a move opposed by the state of Lower Saxony, which holds 20% of VW's shares. In return, the IG Metall union and Lower Saxony have largely accepted the board's plans for the company's transformation.
The fate of VW's plants in Emden, Zwickau, Hannover, and Neckarsulm remains uncertain, with production at some sites set to end in 2031-2034.
