Briefing: VW in talks with Israel’s Iron Dome maker to shift from cars to missile defence

Volkswagen is exploring a strategic shift in its production capabilities by collaborating with Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, a prominent player in missile defence technology.

The focus of this initiative is to repurpose the Osnabrück plant, traditionally used for automotive manufacturing, to produce parts for air defence systems.

This move could have significant implications for the operational capacity of both companies, as Volkswagen diversifies its manufacturing portfolio amidst evolving market demands.
