VW to Build Military Equipment for German Army
Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume stated the company is open to exploring the production of military equipment, driven by Germany’s rearmament efforts and spurred by decreased car exports. This consideration stems from the current geopolitical climate and available factory capacity resulting from reduced car sales and intense competition from China. Economists suggest this could offer a new revenue stream for struggling automakers. While VW hasn’t received any formal requests, Blume confirmed a willingness to assess any proposals for military vehicle production.
