As part of Europe re -equipment: Volkswagen plans to produce military equipment - the media

To spread: the number of cars sold is reduced, so the company can be re -profiled for the production of military equipment. Volkswagen stated that in the framework of Europe's efforts, re -equipment is ready to consider the production of equipment for the German military. About it writes The Telegraph. According to Oliver Blum CEO, the company has not yet received proposals from potential partners. She is now ready to "consider concepts".

"First, I think that, given the current geopolitical situation, what we now see in Germany and Europe, are absolutely the right solutions, in the sense that we need to invest more. We do not have specific negotiations about what Volkswagen could do. Volkswagen Group has a car competence. According to the European Autom producers Association, since 2019 the number of cars sold in the European Union has been declining.

Against this background, some automobile factories in Germany are re -profiled for weapons. The Chief Economist of the Center for European Reforms Sander Sodoar added that the production of military equipment can become a "new business area" for car manufacturers who are experiencing difficulties. "Germany has lost half of its clean car exports, so there are many free facilities for increasing the production of electric vehicles and military equipment," he added.
