Meanwhile Volkswagen in Germany is laying off 4,000 workers
I believe due to over stocking ??

The German auto industry warned last year of between 250,000 and 400,000 jobs in their auto sector going by 2030.
It was the German government-funded National Platform Future of Mobility (NPM) that forecast 400k jobs gone by 2030 and the director of the Center for Automotive Research that said 250k by 2030 was "realistic".
To put that number into perspective, the UK's SMMT says that 180k are employed here directly in auto manufacturing so Germany will lose more auto workers in the coming decade than we here employ in the sector in total.
I've said for quite some time now that we ("we" as in the world, not just the UK) are on the cusp of a new industrial era and that big changes lay ahead.
Hopefully our discovery of lithium deposits will lead to retention within the auto sector here where other countries will undoubtedly fail, and let's hope that Stellantis (Vauxhall) too see the potential in Ellesmere Port and elsewhere in the UK.
Maybe the realisation that all their brands (Vauxhall; Fiat; Citroen/DS; Peugeot; & others) could suffer potentially huge numbers of lost sales in a backlash if they withdraw from UK manufacturing might help them to decide but it's interesting that despite publicity they are taking time to make public any decision.

Perhaps that explains their covid policy( or lack of one? Zaphod?
To reduce their workforce big time before redundancies are needed ?
( just joking!)
But l thought Germany was moving some of their fossil fueled
production overseas while the y convert the German. factories to
electric powered production ??
BMW and MINI are just two examples of this in the UK !!
So we need to move quickly if we are to beat them to it imo ??
