Volkswagen tightens a €160 billion bet on its future

Money Moves

Extended as VW CEO through 2030, overseeing investment reset and restructuring

Volkswagen Group has cut its long-term investment plan to €160 billion through 2030 from previous rolling plans of €165 billion (2025–2029) and €180 billion (2024–2028), still one of the largest capital programs in global manufacturing. CEO Oliver Blume framed the move as belt-tightening in response to higher U.S. tariffs on European car imports and intense price competition in China that have eroded margins, especially at Porsche, prompting a partial retreat from its most ambitious electric-vehicle targets.
