"Volkswagen is in talks with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems over a possible collaboration which would see production switch from cars to defense equipment at a key VW plant."
"The production of weapons by Volkswagen AG remains ruled out for the future, and we do not engage in speculation regarding further plans for the Osnabruck site."
"Volkswagen has been looking for solutions to save around 2,300 jobs at the Osnabruck plant in the state of Lower Saxony since the 2024 decision to pivot away from current production by 2027."
"The Volkswagen plant in Osnabruck has developed a reputation for producing the T-Roc Cabriolet brand, as well as the Porsche Cayman and Porsche Boxster models."
