面临压力的汽车制造商将裁员 15% 并削减半数产品线，开启该行业史上最大规模重组

大众汽车公司宣布，受美国关税和中国竞争对手激烈竞争的影响，将在本十年末削减 10 万个工作岗位。

这家德国制造商表示，管理层与工会已达成一致，作为全面成本削减计划的一部分，将在 2030 年前进一步裁减 5 万个岗位，使得计划中的总裁员人数达到 10 万。

大众汽车集团（旗下涵盖宾利和奥迪等品牌）生产的车型数量将削减一半，同时其位于德国的四家工厂也可能在未来八年内关闭。

大众汽车集团在一份声明中表示：" 必须系统性地使员工规模与经济现实相匹配。"

该公司表示已批准一项涉及 " 削减约 5 万个工作岗位 " 的计划，此前已达成协议的另有 5 万个岗位将被裁撤。

大众汽车首席执行官奥利弗 · 布鲁姆上月在公司总部沃尔夫斯堡与员工进行关于应对财务挑战的必要性对话时，遭到员工嘘声。该总部位于德国北部。

当时，据传布鲁默的重组计划拟将裁员人数从 5 万增至 10 万，但该计划尚未获得大众集团强大的监事会批准，该监事会代表劳方和股东利益。

但周四，这家欧洲最大的汽车制造商表示，董事会已批准了相关提案。

布卢姆表示：" 监事会已一致通过执行董事会今日提交的未来计划。这对大众汽车集团的未来是一个强有力的信号。"

此次裁员总数达 10 万人，将成为全球汽车行业有史以来规模最大的重组行动，约占该车企员工总数的 15%。

大众汽车集团旗下品牌（包括斯柯达、西雅特、保时捷、Cupra 和兰博基尼）全球员工总数超过 65 万人。

大众汽车周四表示，管理层与工会一致认为，汉诺威、埃姆登、茨维考和内卡苏姆四家德国工厂的未来无法保证延续至 2030 年代。

大众汽车正面临来自中国竞争对手在欧洲市场的迅猛扩张、在华销量下滑以及美国高额关税的多重压力。早在此前多年，该集团便已深陷欧洲市场利润持续萎缩和产能过剩的困境。

中国市场的严峻形势也波及了其他汽车制造商。由于伊朗战争造成的动荡以及该公司在中国市场的困境，宝马已下调了今年的利润预期。

Under-pressure carmaker will shed 15% of workforce and halve its product line in sectors biggest ever restructure

The car company Volkswagen has announced it will shed 100,000 jobs by the end of the decade after being hit by US tariffs and fierce competition from Chinese rivals.

The German manufacturer said management and unions had agreed as part of a sweeping cost-cutting plan to cut a further 50,000 positions by 2030, bringing total job losses in the pipeline to 100,000.

The number of car models the Volkswagen group produces, which includes the Bentley and Audi brands, will be slashed by half, while four production plants in Germany could also be shuttered within the next eight years.

It is essential to systematically align workforce levels with economic realities, Volkswagen group said in a statement.

The company said it had approved a plan that involved the reduction of about 50,000 jobs, on top of another 50,000 already agreed.

Volkswagens chief executive, Oliver Blume, was booed last month by staff during a tour of the companys headquarters in Wolfsburg, northern Germany, as part of a company dialogue about the need to address its financial challenges.

At the time, Blumes restructuring plans, which were rumoured to envisage increasing the reduction in headcount from 50,000 to 100,000, were yet to be approved by the VW groups powerful supervisory board, which represents the labour force and shareholders.

But on Thursday, the company, Europes largest carmaker, said the board had signed-off on the proposals.

The supervisory board has unanimously approved the executive boards future plan presented today, Blume said. This is a strong signal for the future of the Volkswagen group.

The total of 100,000 cuts will be the largest restructuring ever carried out in the global automotive industry, amounting to about 15% of the carmakers employees.

Volkswagen employs more than 650,000 people across all its brands, which also includes Skoda, Seat, Porsche, Cupra and Lamborghini.

On Thursday, Volkswagen also said that management and unions agreed that the future of four German plants C in Hanover, Emden, Zwickau and Neckarsulm C could not be guaranteed into the 2030s.

VW has faced increasing pressure from rampant Chinese competition in Europe , decreasing sales in China and hefty US tariffs. Even before that, it was struggling for years with falling profits and overproduction in Europe.

The tough market in China has also hit other carmakers, with BMW cutting its profit guidance for this year because of the disruption caused by the Iran war and the companys struggles in the Chinese market.
