Update on the situation in Ukraine

The Volkswagen Group is greatly concerned and dismayed at the news of the war in Ukraine.

We continue to hope for a cessation of hostilities and a return to diplomacy.

The Volkswagen AG Group Board of Management has set up a crisis management team to determine the possible impact of the war on the company on an ongoing basis.

The Group Board of Management has decided to stop production of vehicles in Russia and halt export of vehicles to Russia with immediate effect. The initial hostilities have also aggravated the situation for our suppliers based in Ukraine, resulting in delivery bottlenecks.

Update on delivery times

Whilst our primary concern is for the safety of the local people and our colleagues in the region, the hostilities have disrupted supply of components from Ukraine. We are working hard to find alternative supply lines for these critical components.

This comes on top of existing supply chain issues, in particular those relating to semi-conductors, which have reduced our production capacity. This means delivery times for some of our model lines are longer than we would normally expect.

Please be assured we are working hard to deliver your chosen vehicle as quickly as possible and your local Retailer will keep you up to date with what’s happening.

If you are experiencing difficulties due to the delay, please don’t hesitate to contact your local Retailer who will work with you to find the best solution and can advise on the limited supply of vehicles which are available from stock.

Peace of mind through flexible finance options.
