<div id="readability-page-1"><div><p>WOLFSBURG (dpa-AFX) - Volkswagen can only proceed with the proposed Audi plant in the United States if President Donald Trump reduces the burden of tariffs. This was made clear in an interview with the &#34;Handelsblatt&#34; by Oliver Blume, the head of the Volkswagen Group, to which Audi belongs. &#34;With the current level of tariffs unchanged, a major additional investment is not financially viable,&#34; Blume responded to a related question. &#34;What we need are short-term cost relief measures and long-term reliable framework conditions.&#34;</p><p>        Audi has been considering building a plant in the US since 2023. At the time, new subsidies in the United States were cited as a reason, making the construction of a plant economically attractive. However, the Trump administration is now putting pressure on European carmakers with tariffs. According to Blume, this weighed on the VW Group by 2.1 billion euros in the first nine months of 2025.</p><p>        Nevertheless, the CEO spoke of a &#34;forward strategy&#34; for the US business and significant growth opportunities. However, Blume described the previously stated goal of a ten percent market share in the US as an old target. Today, Volkswagen must move forward step by step.</p><p>There have been some discussions with the government in Washington regarding the construction of an Audi plant, including talks with President Trump and his Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick – but so far, without the necessary results. &#34;Those who invest, create jobs, and generate added value must also benefit on the cost side,&#34; Blume demanded. &#34;We remain open to solutions that benefit both sides.&#34;/bf/DP/zb</p></div></div>

<p>大众汽车首席执行官奥利弗·布鲁梅表示，拟在美国建设的奥迪工厂在特朗普政府目前施加的关税水平下并不具备财务可行性。他强调需要采取成本减轻措施和稳定的框架，以便继续进行投资。这些关税已经使大众集团在 2025 年损失了 21 亿欧元。尽管与美国政府的讨论仍在进行中，布鲁梅指出，实现 10% 市场份额的目标已经过时，公司必须采取更为渐进的方法向前推进</p>
