Collective Vacations for Workers at Volkswagen’s Unit in São Paulo

This will be the second vacation period due to the lack of components for about 2,000 workers from two shifts, with the first being from June 7 to 16. In Taubaté, Volkswagen produces the Gol and Voyage vehicles. The factory is also being prepared for a new product cycle with the implementation of the MQB platform.

Sindmetau (Union of Metalworkers of Taubaté and Region) will monitor the situation regarding the shortage of inputs. According to Volkswagen, the possibility of extending the 20 days of collective vacations for an additional ten days is under study.

While shut down, the Volkswagen factory in Taubaté, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, will receive updates on the assembly line. The plant will be responsible for producing the new Polo Track, which uses the MQB-A0 platform and will be the automaker’s new entry vehicle, retiring the Fox, Up!, and Gol models.

The Automaker Announced That It Will Use Only Ethanol in Its Entire Brazilian Truck Fleet

Focused on reducing CO2 emissions, the Volkswagen vehicle manufacturer claims that it will use only ethanol in its fleet of trucks, eliminating 1,700 tons of gases per year and committing to its Global Program. According to Pablo Di Si, President & CEO of Volkswagen in Latin America, ethanol is a low-carbon biofuel and is also a renewable and clean source of energy. It is sustainable throughout its entire chain, considering the well-known concept of “from well to wheel,” that is, from its procurement, transport and refining, to its use in the engines and exhausts of the trucks.

Ethanol is essential when it comes to reducing carbon emissions from the automotive industries. Volkswagen, considering the importance of ethanol, will supply its flex-fuel trucks from its internal fleet with the biofuel.

The president and CEO of Volkswagen, Pablo Di Si, said in an exclusive interview that the brand will announce, in the second half, investments in factories and in the compact segments (new Gol or its replacement), pickups (new Saveiro), and SUVs. The executive stated that it took Volkswagen 10 years to enter the SUV segment. According to him, the Taos and Volks will compete for segment leadership against the Compass and Jeep.

The interview took place at the Goodyear testing track in Americana (SP), during a presentation of the Taos SUV. Pablo Di Si stated that he has already invited Volkswagen’s new global CEO, Ralf Brandstätter, to attend the event in the second half. At that time, Volks will announce its new cycle of investments in factories in the country.
