Wolfgang denies joining Ford

After Volkswagen and Ford have announced that they will jointly produce certain commercial vehicles, speculation about a much larger partnership of the two giants.

However, Dies denied such an expert opportunity, stressing that he had never been discussed during negotiations on future co-operation.

But leaders of both companies did not deny the possibility of expanding co-operation beyond the commercial vehicle sector.

There is a general view that Volkswagen and Ford can join forces in developing a fleet of electric cars and self - moving.

This would significantly lower the demand and development costs for both companies, while at the same time increasing profits.
