Majority of Volkswagen factories are outside of Germany in countries like China, Russia, Brazil, India. Getting rid of low efficiency, unproductive German factories will benefit Volkswagen. They should also consider moving headquarters away from Germany to eg Switzerland or US to escape German green left.
The table you provided is mostly accurate, but there are some corrections needed:
Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod, Russia: Volkswagen suspended operations in Russia due to the geopolitical situation in 2022. While these factories existed, they are not currently in operation.
Bratislava, Slovakia: Appears twice in the list. Only one mention is necessary.
Port Elizabeth, South Africa: Uitenhage, also in South Africa, was renamed to Kariega in 2021. Port Elizabeth was renamed to Gqeberha around the same time.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: Volkswagen once had a factory in Sarajevo, but it hasn't been a significant production site for some time.
Duplicate listing: Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, are listed twice. They only need to appear once.
