Blume Tours Volkswagen EV Plants as Restructuring Measures Near Decision
Europe’s largest automaker is considering measures that could double planned job cuts, close factories, and carve out parts of the business. Blume toured Volkswagen’s electric-vehicle plants in Emden and Zwickau, both seen as vulnerable, citing higher labor costs. The plans will be discussed at a supervisory board meeting Friday, with several sites lacking plans beyond 2030.
