The domestic factory closures would be the first in Volkswagen ’s 87-year history.

The plans are already facing pushback from labor unions in the country, where Volkswagen employs 295,000 people.

Volkswagen has warned that it needs a radical overhaul as the group faces growing competition in China and slowing sales elsewhere.

The automaker is selling 500,000 fewer cars in Europe a year compared with pre-pandemic levels.
