Some factories in Germany have no clear future. This affects Emden, Hannover and Zwickau. The Audi factory in Neckarsulm is also at risk. Oliver Blume wants to keep these factories. He searches for good solutions for the locations. In Osnabrück, VW talks to defense companies.
There were plans for less staff in the past. 50,000 jobs go away by the year 2030. This mainly affects the core brand VW. Many workers signed contracts for this already. They leave the company on their own. The new 50,000 jobs come on top of this.
