"German Automaker Turns to Defense: Volkswagen's Osnabrueck Plant to Shift Focus from Cars to Missiles In a surprising move, Volkswagen's manufacturing facility in Osnabrueck, Germany, is set to undergo a significant transformation. Following the planned discontinuation of the T-Roc Cabriolet production, the plant will reportedly be repurposed to produce missile components for Rafael Advanced Defence Systems. This shift in focus marks a notable departure from the plant's traditional role in automotive manufacturing, and raises questions about the potential for increased military-industrial cooperation in the region. As the global defense landscape continues to evolve, this development highlights the growing demand for advanced military technology and the role that German industry is playing in meeting that demand."
Rafael Advanced Defence Systems will build missile parts at VW's plant in Osnabrueck, Germany after production of the T-Roc Cabriolet ends, sources said.
