Note the past tense. egmCarTech posts that Volkswagen will be buying, land, machinery, and equipment from Karmann of Osnabrueck Germany.
Volkswagen hopes to be using the facilities in Osnabrueck to produce a new vehicle sometime in 2011 but they did not specify what that vehicle would be. In a statement from Volkswagen, it was said “that employees and former employees of Karmann have extensive experience in the production of small series models, and this experience will be accessed in line with requirements.”
Volkswagen expects that this project will create as many as 1,000 jobs by 2014 in Osnabrueck with 200 workers already needed to begin setting up the project and begin production.
