It is unknown, to me anyway, if German factories will be closed.VAG reached an agreement with the German union, a year ago, to scale back production in several German plants, including Wolfsburg. The next gen Golf, for EU sale, is slated to be built at the Puebla plant in Mexico.
Notably, a reduction in capacity of 734,000 units across German plants is planned before 2030, and the workforce will be reduced by more than 35,000 people across VW’s German locations by 2030.
