Overview

• The reductions, focused on Bosch’s Mobility division in Germany, are slated to be completed by the end of 2030.
• Site guidance includes about 3,500 jobs in Stuttgart‑Feuerbach, 1,750 in Schwieberdingen, 560 in Waiblingen, 1,550 in Bühl/Bühlertal and 1,250 in Homburg, with further adjustments also foreseen in central functions.
• Bosch targets a roughly 7% operating margin in Mobility after reporting about 3.8% in 2024, citing weak auto demand and slower rollouts of electrification and automated driving.
• IG Metall and Bosch works councils sharply criticized the plan and signaled resistance, while talks on socially acceptable measures begin under time pressure with existing no‑forced‑dismissal pledges through 2027 still in place.
• The new plan adds to previously communicated cuts of about 9,000 Mobility jobs in Germany as Bosch also seeks savings in material costs and productivity improvements.
