@KevinE In the long term, it will be exciting to see whether VW makes the leap to e-mobility - I'm actually assuming that they will. Other brands will probably overtake VW, but I still see them among the top 6 worldwide in the long term.
The brand, not the Group. And it has been dragged along by the Group for quite some time. Dividend is max. 30% of profit. 2024 won't be as bad as you think. Layoffs for operational reasons are only possible from Jun 2025. Closing plants with 20% capacity utilization is good for profitability. In the case of the GmbH plants, no one will crow about it anyway. Incidentally, the Group is doing extremely well in the USA.
