What VW is optimizing for
Seven priorities, in plain English
Every signal on the home screen gets judged against this list. The count next to each pillar shows how many active items the team is currently holding against it.
Margin
no active signals
Get back to a 6%+ operating margin by FY2026 — protect the bottom line of every euro of revenue after operating cost.
Cash
no active signals
Lift cash conversion back above 70% so capex on EV platforms and gigafactories is funded organically.
China
no active signals
Defend the China position. Restore cost parity with local OEMs (BYD, Geely, XPENG) within the joint-venture footprint.
EV
no active signals
Grow EV share toward 20%+ of group deliveries while keeping the contribution margin from going negative.
Inventory
no active signals
Keep working capital under control. Avoid a repeat of the 2023 BEV inventory build that pressured cash.
Regulatory
no active signals
Insulate the group from tariff shocks. Maintain optionality for USMCA-routed production and Chinese-market policy shifts.
Sustainability
no active signals
Stay credibly aligned with the EU 2035 ICE phase-out and supplier sustainability standards already promised to the board.
Priorities are static for this build. A future version would let the CFO office edit them and have every change land in the same audit log as the rest of the system.
