Production Halt: Volkswagen is temporarily stopping production at its Emden and Zwickau factories in Germany due to low European demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and high import tariffs affecting U.S. sales.
Strategic Adjustments: To counteract the impact of U.S. tariffs, Volkswagen plans to increase investments in its U.S. factories and utilize artificial intelligence to enhance production efficiency, while Stellantis is also idling six European factories to adjust inventory levels.
