# Volkswagen Puebla: production adjustments and job cuts > At the end of October 2026, the Volkswagen plant in Puebla reduced Taos production to a single shift. The following day, it signed a wage agreement with its employees, committed to paying 73 million pesos to Cuautlancingo, and projected investments of more than $2.1 billion on the site together with Audi. The state of Puebla then spoke of diversifying its economy in the face of Volkswagen's decline, while the adjustments weakened the local economy. In early November, employees denied rumors of closure, and the union hopes to recover jobs through the assembly of the Golf. A local tally records at least 4,011 job cuts in the automotive sector in Puebla and Tlaxcala in 2026. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 9 events involving Volkswagen, Audi and Volkswagen Group, in Mexique, followed from 30 October 2026 to 2 November 2026. 17 articles from 1 source (plants, jobs and earnings); last updated on 2 November 2026 at 22:52. - Status: ongoing - Scope: National (Mexico) - Category: Plants, jobs and earnings - Countries: Mexique - Brands: Volkswagen, Audi, Volkswagen Group - First detected: 30 October 2026 at 19:29 - Updated: 2 November 2026 at 22:52 - Web page: https://mecapress.com/stories/68-volkswagen-puebla-production-adjustments-and-job-cuts ## Sources by country and language - Mexico: 17 articles, 15 outlets **Languages**: Spanish (17) ## Timeline (9 events) ### 30 October 2026 — [Volkswagen Puebla réduit la production du Taos à un seul quart](https://mecapress.com/events/1257-volkswagen-puebla-reduit-la-production-du-taos-a-un-seul-quart.md) L'usine Volkswagen de Puebla passe la production du Taos à un seul quart de travail, dans un contexte d'ajustements industriels au Mexique. 1 sources, 1 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 31 October 2026 — [Volkswagen will pay 73 million pesos to Cuautlancingo](https://mecapress.com/events/615-volkswagen-will-pay-73-million-pesos-to-cuautlancingo.md) Volkswagen has committed to paying 73 million pesos to the municipality of Cuautlancingo, where its Puebla plant is located, during the term of Mayor Omar Muñoz. 1 sources, 2 articles · Cuautlancingo — Mexique ### 31 October 2026 — [Volkswagen Puebla concludes wage pact and prepares for 2027](https://mecapress.com/events/604-volkswagen-puebla-concludes-wage-pact-and-prepares-for-2027.md) The Volkswagen plant in Puebla signs a wage agreement with its employees and directs its strategy toward 2027. 1 sources, 5 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 31 October 2026 — [Volkswagen and Audi invest more than 2.1 billion dollars in Puebla](https://mecapress.com/events/442-volkswagen-and-audi-invest-more-than-2-1-billion-dollars-in-puebla.md) Volkswagen and Audi are planning investments of more than 2.1 billion dollars at their Puebla site, in Mexico. 1 sources, 1 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 1 November 2026 — [Puebla accelerates economic diversification after Volkswagen pullback](https://mecapress.com/events/592-puebla-accelerates-economic-diversification-after-volkswagen-pullback.md) The state of Puebla is seeking to diversify its economy to reduce its dependence on the automotive sector, after a difficult period for Volkswagen in the region. 1 sources, 4 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 1 November 2026 — [Les ajustements de Volkswagen Puebla fragilisent l'économie locale](https://mecapress.com/events/1004-les-ajustements-de-volkswagen-puebla-fragilisent-l-economie-locale.md) Les ajustements de production chez Volkswagen à Puebla mettent en lumière la dépendance de l'économie locale à un seul constructeur. 1 sources, 1 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 2 November 2026 — [Les salariés de Volkswagen Puebla démentent les rumeurs de fermeture](https://mecapress.com/events/2251-les-salaries-de-volkswagen-puebla-dementent-les-rumeurs-de-fermeture.md) Les travailleurs de l'usine Volkswagen de Puebla qualifient de simple spéculation les rumeurs de fermeture ou de départ de l'usine de l'État. 1 sources, 1 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 2 November 2026 — [Le syndicat de Volkswagen Puebla espère récupérer des emplois avec l'assemblage de la Golf](https://mecapress.com/events/2592-le-syndicat-de-volkswagen-puebla-espere-recuperer-des-emplois-avec-l-assemblage.md) Le Sitiavw compte sur l'assemblage de la Golf à Puebla pour restaurer des postes dans un contexte d'ajustements industriels. 1 sources, 1 articles · Puebla — Mexique ### 2 November 2026 — [At least 4,011 job cuts in the automotive sector in Puebla and Tlaxcala in 2026](https://mecapress.com/events/2687-at-least-4-011-job-cuts-in-the-automotive-sector-in-puebla-and-tlaxcala-in-2026.md) The automotive sector in Puebla and Tlaxcala recorded at least 4,011 layoffs in 2026, according to a local report.
