Volkswagen: VW rechnet offenbar mit 16 Milliarden Kosten für Stellenabbau und mögliche Werksschließungen
Das mögliche Aus für vier Werke soll Berichten zufolge sechs Milliarden Euro kosten. Hinzu kommen zehn Milliarden für den Abbau von bis zu 60.000 Arbeitsplätzen weltweit.
Volkswagen has reportedly estimated costs of 16 billion Euros for potential job cuts and the closure of four factories in Germany, according to an insider. Reuters has quoted a person familiar with the process, who revealed that the closure of factories in Emden and Zwickau is planned to cost one billion Euros each, while the closure of factories in Neckarsulm and Hannover is estimated to cost two billion Euros each.
Additional costs of ten billion Euros are anticipated for laying off up to 60,000 jobs worldwide. This information was previously reported by "Spiegel" based on the Supervisory Board's decision from last week and internal documents, which cited costs of 16 billion Euros in total. A Volkswagen spokesperson declined to comment on confidential documents.
The Supervisory Board of Europe's largest automaker unexpectedly agreed on a restructuring plan last week, aiming to increase the CEO Oliver Blume's return on investment to nine percent by 2030. This plan includes eliminating tens of thousands of jobs, with four German factories under scrutiny. The decision on whether production in the electric factories in Emden and Zwickau, as well as the truck plant in Hannover and Audi's factory in Neckarsulm, will cease by 2031 has been postponed.
