The factory’s urban location makes retrofitting and expansion work for green vehicles difficult.

FRANKFURT: Volkswagen and its Chinese partner SAIC have shuttered production at a plant in China due to slowing demand for internal combustion engine cars, a Volkswagen spokesman told AFP today.

“Volkswagen Group and its joint venture partners are accelerating the transformation towards electric, intelligent, connected vehicles,” the spokesman said.

“Many SAIC Volkswagen sites are currently being converted or have already been converted for electric vehicle production,” he added.
