Volkswagen cuts 2025 guidance after $1.5-billion tariff hit in first half
Volkswagen has reported a $1.5-billion first-half hit from tariffs and cut its full-year sales and profit margin forecasts in the German carmaker's first assessment of the damage from US President Donald Trump's trade war. With this, Volkswagen has joined the global automakers, such as Stellantis and General Motors, that have witnessed profits tumbling as the tariffs have been driving up costs for them. Reuters has reported that the German auto OEM booked billions of dollars of losses and has issued profit warnings due to US import tariffs. The European industry is also facing stiffening competition from China and domestic regulations aimed at speeding up the electric vehicle transition. Volkswagen, which is the biggest carmaker in Europe, now expects the operating profit margin of 2025 to be between four and five per cent, compared with a previous forecast of 5.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent. Volkswagen's full-year sales, earlier seen up to five per cent higher, are expected to be level with the previous year.

"We need to shift our cost efforts into high gear and accelerate implementation. After all, we cannot assume that the tariff situation is only temporary," said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume. The company's earnings dropped by 29 per cent in the second quarter of this year owing to the tariffs. Volkswagen reported an operating profit of 3.8 billion euros in the quarter ended June 30, recording a 29 per cent slump compared to the previous year. The OEM has cited reasons like tariffs and restructuring costs, as well as higher sales of lower-margin all-electric models, for this slump in earnings. While Volkswagen as a solo brand was able to boost its car deliveries globally by 1.5 per cent in the first six months of 2025, the group witnessed a decline of almost 10 per cent in deliveries to the US. Two of the luxury car brands under Volkswagen AG's umbrella, Porsche and Audi, are particularly exposed to US tariffs, given they have no production in the country, and rely heavily on exports.

With new energy, JSW Group gets ready to disrupt EV market
New Delhi: Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group has set up a dedicated automotive vertical-JSW Motors. This will be an umbrella platform under which the group will launch passenger cars focussed on new energy vehicles at an investment of up to $3 billion over the next five years with launches set to begin in the second half of FY26. It will be separate from the group's joint venture with China's SAIC, JSW MG Motor India. JSW Motors is in talks with three-four companies across Italy, Germany, South Korea and China for collaborations to design and develop these cars, which will be sold under the JSW brand, newly appointed chief executive officer Ranjan Nayak told ET in his first media interview. All vehicles will be made in India, with the earmarked resources deployed for commissioning the manufacturing facility, research and development. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Operations Management Technology Digital Marketing MCA Project Management Others Finance Leadership MBA Product Management Data Analytics Management CXO Healthcare others Cybersecurity PGDM Artificial Intelligence Public Policy Data Science Data Science Degree Design Thinking healthcare Skills you'll gain: Quality Management & Lean Six Sigma Analytical Tools Supply Chain Management & Strategies Service Operations Management Duration: 10 Months IIM Lucknow IIML Executive Programme in Strategic Operations Management & Supply Chain Analytics Starts on Jan 27, 2024 Get Details JSW's automotive hub, spread across 630 acres, is coming up at Bidkin in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra. Elaborating on the expansion strategy, Nayak said JSW Motors is aiming to disrupt the domestic electric vehicle (EV) market by manufacturing "world class automotive products in the country" by leveraging the best technologies from across the globe, including Italy, Germany, South Korea and China, and combining that with India's own strengths in robust supply chain and digital integration. "We are looking at rapidly scaling up our in-house automotive technology, and not remain dependent on any external entity. Our integrated approach allows us to combine global excellence with local relevance, ensuring high performance, affordability and sustainability," Nayak said, adding, "Our first New Energy Vehicle (NEV) under the JSW badge will hit the roads in the second half of FY2026." Nayak said JSW Motors is drawing on "the unique strengths of industry-leading partners" from around the world, without specifying details of the companies it is collaborating with. "We will be combining the craftsmanship and aesthetics of Italian designers and the German precision in manufacturing and engineering with the advanced welding technologies from South Korea and China's expertise in electric propulsion systems, battery innovation and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) technologies with that of the Indian IT sector's deep capabilities in software and digital integration," said Nayak. He declined to share details of the investments the JSW Group has scheduled for its automotive venture. However, industry sources said the group has lined up an investment to the tune of $2-3 billion in its automotive business over the next five years. Similar to its strategy in the steel sector, JSW intends to "energize the auto ecosystem-spurring suppliers and competitors to rise with us" to accelerate India's shift to clean mobility and reduce its dependence on oil, said Nayak, who is also executive vice president and head, corporate strategy, JSW Group. "Our aim is to push New Energy Vehicle penetration to 50%, offering affordable, world-class electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles," he said. Nayak said China is at the forefront of EV and hybrid vehicle innovation and has become an integral part of the global automotive supply chain. As the world rapidly shifts toward sustainable mobility, technologies such as Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), pioneered by Chinese automakers, are redefining the industry landscape. By combining the best global technologies with India's own strengths, JSW Motors intends to bring high-quality, technologically advanced, energy efficient and environmentally responsible vehicles. This approach will deliver "unmatched value to Indian customers and propel the country towards a more secure, sustainable and self-reliant automotive future," he said. "Like global industry leaders-including those from Europe, America (like Tesla and GM), and Japan-we embrace relevant advancements from China and other innovation hubs, integrating them within India's ecosystem. Promoting EV, PHEV and hybrid technologies is also critical from an energy security standpoint." he said.
