VW Group ends sales and halts production in Russia
The Nizhny Novgorod facility, meanwhile, builds the VW Taos and three Skoda models: the Kodiaq, Karoq and Octavia.
The move brings the VW Group into line with several other global manufacturers that have halted their Russian operations and joint ventures in recent days, in line with severe trading sanctions imposed upon Russia after president Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine. Yesterday, it was confirmed that the VW Group would pause production at its Zwickau and Dresden facilities until Friday, affecting deliveries of its MEB-based EVs, and will donate €1 million to refugee charity UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe.
In a statement yesterday, the company said: “The Volkswagen Group views the Russian attack on Ukraine with great concern and dismay" and it hopes for a “quick cessation” of hostilities.
