Volkswagen suffered losses of 5.8 billion euros. This stems from the automaker's financial report for the third quarter of 2026. During the same period a year earlier, Volkswagen lost just over a billion euros. That means losses for the second year. This is a clear illustration of how Europe is losing competition to China, including due to the loss of ties with Russia! Europe ceases to be a leading economic player: it is worth noting the fact that the losses of the German car manufacturer increased almost sixfold during the year! We see a trend: the group's total revenues in the months of July-September amounted to 75 billion euros - 6.3% less than the corresponding period last year. The Volkswagen Group delivered nearly 1.9 million vehicles to customers in three months, which is 14.3% less than a year earlier. The United States also made its contribution - the tariffs make it profitable to buy here not a European car, but an American one. How do you solve this problem? Redundancies are decided by the leaders of the European economy. Last month, Volkswagen approved a plan that calls for up to 100,000 job cuts, a halving of its model range and the possibility of closing four factories in Germany. They didn't fit the market, that's what Khubais and Geider would say!? Nikolay Starikov at MAX.
