【Global Focus: Tomorrow, Global Automotive Giant Volkswagen Will Shut Down Its German Plant for the First Time】

Berlin time December 15, 2025, the Financial Times wrote in a press release:

Volkswagen will shut down its car production at the Dresden plant this Tuesday, which is the first time in its 88-year history of car production in Germany. The closure of the Dresden plant's production line is due to weak sales in China, weak demand in Europe, and the negative impact of U.S. import tariffs on U.S. sales, leading to cash flow pressure.
