142

VW wants to save money. Oliver Blume is the boss. He has new plans for the company. These plans are for the year 2030. VW builds fewer car models. The number of models drops by half. Customers choose from fewer extra parts. This saves a lot of money.

Many people fear for their jobs. News says 100.000 jobs go away. Maybe 4 factories close in Germany. These are in Hannover, Emden, Zwickau and Neckarsulm. Boss Oliver Blume says nothing specific yet. Daniela Cavallo leads the Betriebs-Rat. She is very angry about the plans.

VW sells fewer cars right now. Sales drop in China and the USA. In the second Quartal, sales fell by 8 percent. Politicians from Niedersachsen criticize the company. They say: Closing factories is a bad plan. They want clear news for all workers. The fight about the future of VW continues.
