Volkswagen's Q2 operating profit fell 10% year-on-year to €3.5 billion, and the company cut its 2026 revenue forecast by up to 3% amid slowing demand and structural change across the auto industry.
Volkswagen estimates U.S. tariffs could cost it up to €5 billion annually, adding further pressure to margins already squeezed by the high costs of the EV transition and new-technology investment.
Volkswagen is caught between two fronts: U.S. trade barriers that penalize exports and raise costs, and an offensive from Chinese EV manufacturers with more competitive cost structures.
