The head of the Volkswagen Union said that against the backdrop of increasing pressure on the Group to cut costs, the Volkswagen Management Board decided to terminate the project called “Gamechanger”, which was originally planned to implement advanced manufacturing technology in Germany. The project plans to pioneer the application of new production processes such as large-scale die casting of car bodies at Volkswagen's Wolfsburg plant. Union President Daniela Cavallo said the decision was a flagrant violation of the agreement reached in December 2024 and meant that Volkswagen abandoned its goal of leading the industry in manufacturing technology. Volkswagen is still planning to launch models based on the next-generation SSP platform, but trade union representatives said it is likely that these models will mainly be produced using traditional processes in the future.
