VW subsidiary Audi closes work in Brussels: What happens with 3,000 jobs?

Brüssel, Belgien - The shock message is here! Audi, the VW subsidiary, pulls the plug for your work in Brussels-and already in February 2025! This decision makes around 3,000 employees like a flash out of the blue. The sales figures of the Q8 e-tron have been in the basement for months, and the high logistics costs at the location make the Situation worse. The factory is unfavorable between residential areas, railway tracks and the highway, which makes any expansion impossible.

The future of employees in the Schweben

What happens with the employees concerned? Audi has confirmed talks with a potential investor, but hope disappears. Over 20 interested parties from the car industry have already been checked - without success! The uncertainty remains whether a takeover actually comes about or whether the negotiations run into nothing.

A ray of hope for the workforce: Audi has assured that there will be no layoffs this year. But what happens after the production stop in February? The exact plan for the employees will be determined in the coming weeks. The legally prescribed negotiations between Audi, works council and unions are about to conclude. Time is pushing and the concerns of the employees grow!
