Volkswagen is converting its Osnabruck factory to defense production due to declining car demand. The company has reached an agreement for a potential sale to Aurelius Capital, which plans to collaborate with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. This transition aims to secure jobs for 1,400 employees, while the factory's vehicle production is set to cease by 2027. Volkswagen is also implementing significant job cuts across its operations, raising concerns among workers. Other automakers like Mercedes-Benz are similarly exploring defense sector opportunities amid industry challenges.
