    Volkswagen will cut working hours at its Wolfsburg factory
next week, a spokesman said, as the carmaker continues to suffer
from an ongoing shortage of crucial semiconductors that has
already impacted production earlier this year.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL5N2NX4UK
    Among the major carmakers, Volkswagen and Volvo are doing
enough to electrify their vehicle lineups in Europe and the EU
needs to set tougher CO2 emission limits if it wants to meet
Green Deal targets, according to a climate group's study.
