Germany’s largest carmaker, Volkswagen Group, is reportedly facing a potential financial crisis in 2026, according to a report by Bild citing internal company figures. The automaker is expected to encounter a significant cash-flow gap of around €11 billion next year, leaving it unable to fund its planned operations and investments.
Volkswagen’s half-year report for 2025 revealed a 33% drop in operating profit compared to the previous year, coupled with a negative cash flow of €1.4 billion. Several factors have been blamed for the company’s financial struggles, including a slump in profits, weak business performance in China, increased competition from Chinese automotive brands, and tariffs imposed by former US President Donald Trump.
This combination of challenges has contributed to the substantial shortfall, raising concerns about Volkswagen’s ability to sustain its spending and investment plans in the near future.
