The figures came two days after the head of Volkswagen’s works council said management had informed employee representatives that it wants to close at least three plants in Germany. The company hasn’t publicly detailed its plans.It cited factors including new competitors entering European markets and Germany’s deteriorating position as a manufacturing location. European automakers are facing increased competition from inexpensive Chinese electric cars.

Citing the confidentiality of talks with employee representatives, he said he wouldn’t comment specifically on plans or “speculations.” The head of the employee council, Daniela Cavallo, said workers want to see a “comprehensive plan for the future,” which needs to involve more than labor and plant costs.
