Audi CEO Gernot Döllner has commented on the future of the Hungarian plant in Győr, which ranks among the largest component production plants within the Volkswagen Group. According to him, there is no question of closing the facility, even though the brand is currently cutting part of its workforce. HVG ↗
Döllner gave the statement in Paris on the occasion of the unveiling of the new compact electric vehicle Audi A2 e-tron. His reassuring response to questions about the fate of the Győr plant came at a time when the automaker is implementing staff cuts as part of the Volkswagen Group's broader restructuring. Speculation about a possible scaling back or even closure of the Hungarian facility emerged precisely in connection with these layoffs. Index.hu ↗
According to Döllner, however, the importance of the Győr plant for the entire Volkswagen Group remains key, as it is one of the largest component manufacturers within the group. Its future is therefore not in doubt, according to the CEO, despite the ongoing cost-saving measures. HVG ↗
Audi is thus following the trend of the entire Volkswagen Group, which in recent weeks has announced extensive cost-saving and restructuring measures across several brands and plants. While at some facilities the group is considering fundamental changes to production or even the sale of part of the business, in the case of the Győr plant, Audi's management insists that it is a strategically irreplaceable part of the production network. e15.cz ↗
The specific consequences of the ongoing layoffs at Audi have not yet been further specified. The automaker's management is expected to present further restructuring steps in the near future, as part of the Volkswagen Group's effort to improve profitability and face growing competitive pressure on both the European and global markets.
