Volkswagen Rejects Report of BYD Bid for Dresden’s Gläserne Manufaktur

The takeover claim stems from a single Chinese report with no on-the-record confirmation from BYD.

BYD will angeblich ein Volkswagen-Werk in Deutschland kaufen: Wirtschaft
BYD bekundet Interesse an VWs Dresdner Werk, doch der Konzern dementiert Verhandlungen.

Overview

  • Volkswagen Sachsen, which responded Monday, said the reported BYD talks were false.
  • CarNewsChina had claimed BYD was negotiating to use part of the Dresden site for EV assembly with a proposed €50 million investment.
  • The report described a split campus with a German innovation hub on one side and BYD production on the other, but it cited only an unnamed source.
  • BYD declined to comment to the outlet, and no independent confirmation has surfaced from other parties.
  • Vehicle assembly at the showcase plant ended in December 2025, and Volkswagen is converting part of the facility into an innovation center with TU Dresden and the State of Saxony.
