Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume secured unanimous board approval for the Future Plan 2030 targeting a 9% operating margin by 2030 with €135 billion in capital and R&D spend, including deep job cuts and a halving of model lineups by 2035. The plan avoids plant closures and a VW brand spinoff, while exploring repurposing assets like the Osnabrück plant for missile-defense components.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a sharper Volkswagen reshaping that cuts models and jobs while shifting production plans. If your startup serves automotive supply or tech, prepare for tighter demand and a new wave of repurposed manufacturing sites.
