Five entries from January 2023 are listed in a lobby register of the Canadian province for Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p), including one that mentions Chief Executive Oliver Blume by name, the report said, citing the documents.

Volkswagen did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The carmaker confirmed in December it was searching for a site for a battery cell plant in North America, and Blume said at the time that Canada was “one logical option”.

The documents seen by Handelsblatt said that Ontario wanted to be “considered in competition with other locations in consideration.”
