Volkswagen extends production break

The group is reacting to the falling demand for vehicles and the ongoing challenges in the supply chain. For a total of around 80,000 Volkswagen AG employees, the associated short-time work is to end with the night shift from April 19th to 20th.

Andreas Tostmann, Board Member for Logistics and Production at the Volkswagen brand, emphasized: "The health of our employees is our top priority. We are making good progress with work on a very comprehensive package for a gradual ramp-up of production, which also includes a number of additional measures regarding hygiene or distances between employees on the production line."
