Car firms in Germany have big worries. The firm Porsche SE loses much money. It is a big owner of Volkswagen. In the first half year, the loss is 2,2 billion euro. This happens because Volkswagen and Porsche AG have bad numbers.
Hans Dieter Pötsch leads Porsche SE. He wants fast choices at Volkswagen. The firm must save money. People fight about job cuts. Factories can close too. The state Niedersachsen and the workers say no.
VW boss Oliver Blume wants a fix until the end of the year. He thinks about 50,000 job cuts. Daimler Truck makes less money too. The profit drops by half. A reason for this is taxes for trade. Daimler Truck wants to cut 5,000 jobs in Germany.
