VW in the customs dispute: Talks with the USA about new investments!

USA - Volkswagen is currently conducting intensive discussions with the US government, which focus on commitments to invest in the American market. These negotiations aim to accommodate the US import duties. VW boss Oliver Blume commented in the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", where he explained the company's current strategy.

Blume emphasized that Volkswagen is pursuing a comprehensive forward strategy that is characterized by tailor -made project approaches for the USA. He expressed the desire to advance the expansion and optimally use the opportunities of the product portfolio. In this context, the Audi brand could also benefit from a production facility in the United States, which is considered a development step for the company.

Volkswagen as a partner

Oliver Blume describes Volkswagen as a reliable investor and partner in the United States. He sees the automotive industry as part of the solution to the challenges that result from the increased US tariffs and global trade conflicts. "We live from successful world trade that has created jobs for decades," said Blume. North America remains one of the most important growth regions for Volkswagen.

In the discussion about possible US productions, Blume admitted that the Porsche brand cannot be produced in the USA because the quantities-around 70,000 cars over six model series-would require a different volume. Despite this limitation, Porsche is the most successful individual market in the USA, which makes the "Made in Germany" brand particularly attractive for American customers.

flower expressed hope that the talks with the US government could lead to progress in the tariffs and hopes for the reason of the American government under the direction of Donald Trump. These views and the strategic initiatives of Volkswagen illustrate the company's efforts to assert themselves in a rapidly changing global trade environment.
