The German marque has spoken with more than 20 potential investors but hasn't found a viable solution to keep the plant open
Audi 's plant in Brussels is home to roughly 3,000 staff but will close its doors on February 28. Production at the site will continue for two months after the Christmas holidays. The carmaker says it's speaking with a new investor in the commercial sector, but no deal has been reached. Audi will close its production facility in Brussels, Belgium, in February next year, but there remains a glimmer of hope it could be saved with new investment.
Production of the Q8 e-tron will continue right up until the closure, and workers will be required to return from Christmas holidays to complete two final months of work over two shifts. Audi has been looking for ways to make the plant viable. It has spoken with 26 potential investors who’ve shown interest in the plant, but according to the carmaker, none of them have presented a sustainable business plan.
