Volkswagen announced that the factory would resume full production.

On June 16, local time, Volkswagen Group official announced that with the reopening of the Factory in Puebla, Mexico, the Volkswagen passenger car brand's 16 factories around the world have resumed production.

At present, the capacity deployment of all Volkswagen passenger vehicle factories is about 60% to 70% of the capacity before the coVID-19 outbreak.

Andreas Tostmann, a member of vw's passenger car brand management board, said the company worked with the Labour committee to develop a "100-point plan" to achieve maximum health protection.

Andreas Tostmann added that supplies had also been restored to all suppliers of the popular passenger car brands. At its European plants alone, VW has bought about 100,000 different parts from suppliers.

Volkswagen has suspended production in Europe for about six weeks and in South America for about 10 weeks due to coVID-19. Among them, the Zwickau plant and the Wolfsburg plant will resume work on April 23 and 28, respectively, and these two plants are responsible for the production of two strategic products of the Volkswagen brand -- ID.3 and the eighth generation golf.

Moreover, VW's factories in China have already reopened.

In May, sales of the eighth Generation golf were halted because the emergency call function was not working properly. On June 4, a VW spokesman said the software problem had been fixed and the company would resume deliveries of the model.

Meanwhile, the trial production of the home-made eighth generation golf was rolled off the production line at FAW-Volkswagen's factory in Foshan in April this year and is expected to go on sale in the second half of the year.

The vw passenger car brand's first MEB platform pure electric vehicle ID.3 will begin delivery in early September. Vw had planned to start deliveries of the model this summer, but the impact of the epidemic has delayed normal production plans.

The impact of COVID-19 has also seriously affected the operating performance of Volkswagen Group.

Volkswagen's chief financial officer, Frank Witter, said internally that the company's second quarter would be "very bad" and that it would take strict spending controls to ensure it met its profit targets for the year, German media WirtschaftsWoche reported.
