Volkswagen (VWAGY) CFO Arno Antlitz said that the next step to making the car maker’s German factories competitive was to improve productivity by increasing the number of vehicles made per worker, Reuters’ Victoria Waldersee reports, citing comments to investors.

Germany cannot be an exception,” Antlitz said.
