  • ZF Friedrichshafen recorded a net loss of just over €1 billion in 2024, primarily due to €600 million in restructuring costs.
  • The company’s revenue fell by 11% to €41.4 billion in 2024, reflecting weak demand for electric vehicles and broader economic challenges.
  • Plans are in place to cut up to 14,000 jobs in Germany by 2028, representing about one-quarter of its domestic workforce.
  • ZF’s debt burden has risen to €10.5 billion, with high interest payments further straining its financial position.
