Skoda Auto is a rescue for VW, nobody would have believed that once. The German car industry now “doesn’t exist”
“The plans of the politicians in Brussels are not understandable, and so we have no strategy for innovation in Europe, and therefore not even in Germany,” says Ferdinand Dudenhöffer. Germany’s car industry is facing serious problems and is losing competitiveness. In an interview with HN, expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer reveals the causes of the crisis. In addition to warning that without transformation and innovation, Europe will be left behind, he suggests that it should cooperate with Chinese manufacturers. I am not a “car guy”, he says proudly, although he has been in the car industry all his life and is not afraid to comment sharply on where brands are heading today. Especially the German ones. Professor Ferdinand Dudenhöffer taught economics at German universities for many years.
