MUNICH—Volkswagen may have to spend more to deliver its planned transformation, the German carmaker’s supervisory board chairman said, particularly a shift towards autonomous driving.
The world’s second-largest automaker, which plans to invest 150 billion euros ($178 billion) in its business by 2025, has repeatedly said that it can fund the transition towards electric vehicles and autonomous driving based on current cash flows.
