“Although the state court in Brunswick issued temporary injunctions requiring the suppliers to resume deliveries, they so far haven’t fulfilled this obligation,” the VW statement read. VW said it was holding talks with the suppliers today and that it “wishes to achieve a result through negotiations”. Handelsblatt also reported that VW has been seeking concessions from all of its suppliers, amounting to several billion euros. Affected factories include Emden, Zwickau, Kassel, Salzgitter, Brunswick, and a key site at the firm’s headquarters of Wolfsburg. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported that the Stuttgart firm had cancelled some of its contracts with the component supplier in 2013.
