Overview

  • The largest cuts target Feuerbach (~3,500), Schwieberdingen (~1,750), Bühl/Bühlertal (~1,550) and Homburg (~1,250), with Waiblingen’s connector production (~560) slated to end by 2028.
  • Management says the program is required to close an annual €2.5 billion cost gap in Mobility, alongside savings on materials and productivity gains including greater use of AI.
  • The plan comes on top of a previously communicated need to reduce about 9,000 Mobility roles in Germany, with completion of the new measures scheduled by 2030.
  • Works councils and IG Metall reject cuts of this scale without binding site guarantees, vowing protests as rapid negotiations over social safeguards begin.
  • Separate local steps continue, including up to 650 jobs to be cut at the Blaichach/Immenstadt site by 2028, reflecting wider pressure on German plants.
