BERLIN (Reuters) – Volkswagen’s (ETR:) luxury unit Audi is in talks with a potential investor for its struggling Brussels plant, a company spokesman said on Tuesday.

A working group on alternative uses for the plant is also ongoing, the spokesman said, adding that no conclusions have yet been reached.

According to the company’s sources, the potential investor is a manufacturer of commercial vehicles.

Volkswagen, which could close three plants in Germany as a cost-cutting measure, said in July that it was considering closing its Brussels plant, which employs about 3,000 people, because of low demand for higher-end electric cars.

The factory currently produces the Audi Q8 e-tron luxury electric SUV, but production of this vehicle will end in February next year.
