Volkswagen’s sweeping restructuring plan, aimed at addressing fierce competition from Chinese automakers and global overcapacity, is projected to cost roughly €16 billion, according to Reuters.

With pressure mounting from shifting market dynamics, the move signals a major pivot in strategy for one of the world’s largest automakers. Details on which plants may close and how job cuts will be distributed remain under review.
