December 15, Fineko/abc.az. For the first time in 88 years, the European automobile concern Volkswagen will completely stop the production of cars at one of its enterprises in Germany.

ABC.AZ reports that the Financial Times writes about it. The production line of the Dresden plant will stop working on December 16.

The Dresden plant, which was launched in 2002, does not have the largest capacity. Over the entire period of his work, less than 200,000 cars were assembled there, which is less than half of the annual output of the concern's flagship plant in Wolfsburg.

The shutdown of production in Dresden is part of an overall strategy to optimize sites in the country, agreed with the trade unions last year. It also includes the reduction of 35,000 jobs in the German division of the concern. The management explains that the decision to close was not an easy one, but from an economic angle it was necessary.
