Volkswagen cuts production as sales in China drop sharply
The German automaker is responding to intensifying competition from Chinese EV makers offering lower-priced and more advanced electric vehicles.
Volkswagen is cutting production after sales in China declined, according to the New York Times Business.
The outlet points to mounting pressure from fast-growing Chinese companies that have gained share by offering electric vehicles that are priced more affordably and include more sophisticated features.
Volkswagen has faced difficulty competing in the China market as Chinese EV offerings have expanded, reshaping consumer choices.
The production reduction underscores how weaker China demand and local competition are forcing automakers to adjust output levels.
