当地时间9月2日,大众汽车发布声明称,公司正考虑首次关闭其在德国的一家汽车制造厂和一家零部件厂,并终止自1994年实施的就业保护协议,以进一步削减开支。据悉,这是大众汽车自1937年成立以来,在87年的历史中首次作出关闭其本土工厂的考量。经济分析师认为,这一动向显示这家欧洲最大汽车制造商在转型和市场竞争中成本压力日益加重,并给德国经济政策敲响了警钟。目前,欧洲汽车工业面临严峻形势,不仅因为整体经济环境更加困难,而且还有新竞争者进入市场,德国作为制造业基地的竞争力进一步下滑。大众汽车管理董事会主席奥博穆在一份声明中说,这意味着大众汽车需要“果断行动”。大众汽车原本计划到2026年削减成本100亿欧元,以推动向电动车转型。但其今年8月公布的半年业绩令人失望,显示难以实现这一目标。过去5年,大众汽车市值缩水近三分之一,在欧洲主要汽车制造商中表现最为糟糕。大众汽车是德国雇工最多的企业,也是欧洲最大车企。今年以来,德国经济前景再度恶化,市场情绪低迷,大众汽车的最新决定凸显多年来德国经济停滞和缺乏结构性改革的后果。要如何保持本国制造业的区位优势,成为德国目前面临的重大问题。
