Globally, Volkswagen Group employed around 683,000 people in 2024, up from 676,000 in 2023. During a press conference in 2019, Volkswagen announced that there would be a reduction in workforce between 2019 and 2023, but employee figures increased in both 2022 and 2023. Staff cuts were made by other traditional automotive manufacturers: General Motors' workforce was cut by some 25,000 employees over four years before employee figures increased in 2021 and 2022. In 2024, however, Volkswagen made further job cut announcements, which could lead the manufacturer to cut 35,000 jobs in Germany.
The Volkswagen Group’s original brand is Volkswagen Passenger Cars; major subsidiaries include Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. Additionally, the German automotive manufacturing company holds large stakes in Scania and MAN.
The fiscal year end of the company is December, 31st.
