Volkswagen in Germany faces a crisis With reports that major car makers Honda and Nissan are in talks to merge, Volkswagen in Germany is facing a crisis. Volkswagen of Germany is the second largest automaker in the world in terms of sales after Toyota. Despite shifting to EVs, the company has faced falling demand, rising costs, and competition from Chinese manufacturers, and in September announced plans to close at least three factories in Germany and lay off tens of thousands of workers. If the domestic factory is closed, it will be the first time since the company was founded in 1937, but the labor union is strongly opposed. Strikes and protests continue. With labor-management negotiations proving difficult and the future uncertain, stock prices plummeted. For details, see source NTV 2024/12/18

It would be interesting to put a Prius unit in an old Beetle.

That’s bad.

The SDG proponents who forced EVs should take responsibility. Telling lies about the natural environment and such will only have a negative impact on business.

Will shareholders allow Audi to enter F1 after this???

Oh no. People who are putting all their effort into EVs are getting sick one after another. Tesla will be the same soon.

It’ll become a worn-out Volkswagen.

Nothing beats a gasoline engine. What about in the desert or on snowy roads?
12Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 11:19:44.82ID:BYRIAf/D0
Is this a victory for Toyota, which chose not to join the global trend towards EVs and instead pushed ahead with HVs? lol.

Toyota’s president managed to hold out well.
The pressure was intense.

Volkswagen, Nissan and Honda…

If they compete on price with EVs they can’t beat Chinese cars,
so Germany is in a tough spot right now.

Korea’s Hyundai put a foreigner as president, and China’s 1000 EV companies are now physically cannibalizing each other.

They tried to rely on government subsidies for EVs, but Germany stopped subsidies and it seems to be collapsing. Also, they’re being shut out by China, so they didn’t see China’s national strategy.

VW in particular had all of their car-making know-how squeezed out of them in China.

Will only gasoline-powered Toyota and EV-powered BYD survive, and will the other manufacturers die out?
20Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 11:22:32.28ID:aY+Gg0+S0
Tata India has collapsed. Only Toyota, Honda, BYD and Tesla are safe.

In May it was 126 euros, and this month it was down to 80 euros. This must have been a big blow to some shareholders.

All the car companies that put all their effort into EVs are in trouble lol. Chinese companies are likely to buy them up.

Toyota was heavily criticized by the EV pressure, but they didn’t give in.
Other manufacturers got carried away by the EV trend.
The situation is now one of divided.

I wonder why Volkswagen is closing its German factory. I think they’ll close their South African and Chinese factories first.
34Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 11:26:11.72ID:aY+Gg0+S0
France is also in a bad state. The most notable is the closure of Michelin’s tire factory, but Renault and Peugeot are also closing subcontract factories like a comb.

They promised China 40 trillion yen in factory construction investments and crushed Toyota. Toyota was the only one without subsidies, and EVs were made national policy. However, the Chinese economy collapsed and EVs failed, putting the country in a critical situation.

The VW dealer near my house is gone. It snows in the area, but they say sales aren’t good because the lineup only consists of FF products.

You can’t win against China’s national strategy. In the end, your entire company will be taken over.

Sell ​​to Audi, Tesla, or Hon Hai
Sounds similar to the Nissan situation.

This is the result of trying to sweep the diesel fraud under the rug by saying, “EVs are the future.”

All China needs is for those connected to the Chinese Communist Party to make money lol.

There’s a shortage of all kinds of technology.

Who would have thought that companies that weren’t lured in by EVs would survive?
