Volkswagen plans to sell the Osnabrück plant to investor Aurelius and the state of Lower Saxony. The facility is to be gradually transformed over the coming years into a center for security and defense industry. The planned changes are to include the production of technology for the defense sector. seznamzpravy.cz ↗ Spiegel.de ↗
The Osnabrück plant is among the most significant German automotive facilities facing a change in focus. According to one report, systems for air defense from Israeli manufacturer Rafael are to be produced in the facility in the future. This step is to be followed by additional defense projects.
In connection with the planned sale, approximately 600 jobs at risk are mentioned. Volkswagen, Aurelius, and Lower Saxony have already agreed on the basic points of the transaction, and the plant is to be reoriented gradually, not immediately. Further developments will depend on the completion of the sale and how quickly the production program can be converted to meet the needs of the defense industry. ORF ↗ Tagesspiegel ↗
