Volkswagen is reportedly planning to launch a US-made pickup truck by 2030 as part of a strategy to revive its struggling American business. The move targets the high-margin pickup and large SUV segments, which currently account for nearly $200 billion in annual US sales but are areas VW has previously ignored.
Background
Volkswagen's US sales have faced challenges recently, with the company seeking new avenues to compete in a market dominated by domestic truck manufacturers. The US remains one of the few major markets where pickup trucks hold significant consumer appeal and sales volume.
