Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume calls for deeper cost cuts as Chinese rivals push into Europe

AI Market Summary
Volkswagen signaled deeper restructuring to defend competitiveness as Chinese EV and hybrid makers intensify pressure in Europe, while Q2 operating profit fell 9.5% and management scrapped its prior sales-growth target. The plan to double job cuts to 100,000 and the possibility of German plant closures after 2030 elevate execution and labor-relations risk despite maintained margin guidance, acting as a near-term catalyst for VW-linked equities.

Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said the automaker will deepen cost cuts after reporting its second-quarter results, proposing to double planned job reductions to 100,000 and warning that four German plants could face closure after 2030. Operating profit in the quarter fell 9.5% year on year to €3.5 billion, and the group dropped its revenue growth target, now forecasting a decline of up to 3% in 2026. The moves come as Volkswagen faces intensifying competition from more than 150 Chinese carmakers expanding into Europe with low-cost electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, according to Reuters.
