German car company Volkswagen is concerned about the persistent shortage of natural gas. There is also the possibility that it will move its production from Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to the countries of southwest and northern Europe.
In addition to households, the current energy crisis also threatens European industry. For example, Volkswagen is already looking for ways to address the natural gas shortage following the war in Ukraine. The agency informed him Bloomberg.
The largest European carmaker has factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, among others. That is, in the countries that are most dependent on Russian gas. It is the lack of natural gas that threatens these European countries which could cause a shift in production to southwestern Europe and the coastal part of northern Europe.
