Volkswagen has published its strategic roadmap through 2030, centering on a drastic reduction in product complexity to restore competitiveness.
The group plans to halve the number of vehicle models it offers and cut the number of variants by as much as 75%, a move designed to streamline production and lower costs in a rapidly shifting global market.
The announcement provides specific operational targets for the restructuring effort that has dominated headlines in recent weeks.
Earlier reports, citing confidential internal documents, indicated the automaker was considering eliminating up to 100,000 jobs and closing four German plants.
The new strategy formalizes the scale of the overhaul, signaling that management is moving from planning to execution on its leaner structure.
Investors and labor unions will likely focus on the implementation timeline and the specific impact on European manufacturing hubs.
