The story's file: the 8 articles from 8 outlets about this event in one place.

What is happening

What the sources report

Volkswagen is suspending development work on the fully electric Golf at the Wolfsburg plant, as the unit has not met its cost-reduction targets.[1]

The factory shows a cost deficit of 300 million euros, according to a memorandum.[2]

Thomas Schäfer, chief executive of the group's mass-market brands, stated in an internal memo that the decision was not easy.[1]

The group is pressing ahead with plans to cut 100,000 jobs and close up to four factories in Germany.[1]

The IG Metall union is considering strikes from January 1.[2]
