Summary
In the second quarter, deliveries across the Group fell by almost 9 percent to 2.08 million vehicles. However, these austerity measures agreed at the end of 2024 are no longer sufficient in view of the tightening framework conditions, according to Blume. The profit has long been on the decline at VW: Group earnings after taxes had already collapsed by almost a third in the first quarter, and by almost half in the full year 2025.
Furthermore, Staff reductions are already underway By 2030, Volkswagen has already announced the reduction of 50,000 jobs in Germany. By the end of the year, it should actually be at least 4 percent, in 2030 then at least 8 percent. The same applies to the State of Lower Saxony, which holds a 20 percent stake in VW and has two members on the Supervisory Board.
In addition, 35,000 jobs are to be eliminated at the core brand, the rest at subsidiaries such as Audi and Porsche. More than 37,000 employees have already signed corresponding agreements.
