Volkswagen is considering a large organizational change that includes significant job cuts and the closure of several factories in Germany.

福斯正考慮進行一項重大的組織變更，包括大幅裁員及關閉數座位於德國的工廠。

The proposed plan, led by CEO Oliver Blume and CFO Arno Antlitz, suggests cutting up to 100,000 jobs worldwide, which is about 15% of the total workforce. This is double the 50,000 job cuts previously expected by 2030. As part of this strategy, the company may close four German plants in Hanover, Zwickau, Emden, and Neckarsulm. Furthermore, the management intends to reduce investment spending by 15% over the next five years. There are also plans to split the company into two separate parts: one for passenger cars and another for parts operations.

這項由執行長 Oliver Blume 與財務長 Arno Antlitz 領導的計劃建議在全球範圍內削減最多 10 萬個職位，約佔總員工數的 15%。這數字是先前預計 2030 年前削減 5 萬個職位的兩倍。作為此策略的一部分，公司可能會關閉位於 Hanover、Zwickau、Emden 及 Neckarsulm 的四座德國工廠。此外，管理層打算在未來五年內將投資支出削減 15%。同時還計劃將公司拆分為兩個獨立部分：一個負責乘用車，另一個負責零件業務。

These measures were caused by a drop in financial performance, including a 44% fall in profits during 2025. The company emphasized that its old business model is no longer effective because it relies too heavily on German development and European production for global exports. Consequently, Volkswagen has seen a 10% drop in US deliveries and an 8% drop in China due to import taxes and strong competition from Chinese electric vehicle brands like BYD. While sales in Europe grew by 4.5%, the company has reduced its global production target from 12 million to nine million vehicles.

這些措施是由於財務表現下滑所導致，包括 2025 年利潤下降了 44%。公司強調，舊有的商業模式已不再有效，因為其過度依賴德國開發與歐洲生產來進行全球出口。因此，受進口關稅及比亞迪等中國電動車品牌的強大競爭影響，福斯在美國的交付量下降了 10%，在中國則下降了 8%。儘管歐洲銷售額增長了 4.5%，但公司已將全球產能目標從 1,200 萬輛下調至 900 萬輛。

However, the company expects strong opposition from the IG Metall union and the General Works Council, who have promised to stop these job cuts. Additionally, the state of Lower Saxony, a major shareholder, wants to protect local jobs. Despite these conflicts, the executive board asserted that a deep transformation is necessary for the company to survive. The supervisory board is scheduled to discuss these proposals on July 9.

然而，公司預期將面臨來自 IG Metall 工會與總勞工委員會的強烈反對，後者已承諾將阻止此次裁員。此外，身為大股東的下薩克森州亦希望保護當地就業。儘管存在這些衝突，執行董事會仍堅稱，深度轉型是公司生存的必要條件。監事會預計將於 7 月 9 日討論這些提案。

Volkswagen is currently going through a difficult transition period characterized by strict cost-cutting and intense international competition.

福斯目前正處於一個艱難的過渡期，其特徵是嚴格的成本削減與激烈的國際競爭。
