BERLIN -- Volkswagen could decide on where it will build a new electric-vehicle plant by the end of March.
The company said last year it would build a state-of-the-art car factory close to its headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, to raise its game as electric-vehicle rival Tesla builds a plant near Berlin.
The plant is part of the group's Trinity project under which the automaker wants to build a flagship electric sedan starting in 2026. Construction will likely begin in spring 2023 at the latest.
The VW works council, the company's union, hopes will secure the site's future as VW prepares to stop selling internal combustion-engine cars in Europe from 2035.
"We are fighting for Trinity production right here in Wolfsburg, which means either on the factory site or in the direct vicinity of the main plant," works council head Daniela Cavallo said in a statement on Wednesday.
