Audi will conduct large -scale abbreviations

The Audi car manufacturer (part of the Volkswagen group) announced large -scale reductions: until 2025, about 9.5 thousand employees at two factories in Germany will fire. These are approximately 15% of all German employees and 10.6% of the total, writes Bloomberg.

• Approximately 50 thousand remaining employees in Germany guarantee maintenance of work until 2029.
• In addition, Audi will create 2 thousand new workers. These people will develop electric vehicles and digital technologies.
• Audi plans to launch five fully electric and seven hybrid car models for two years and expand the line of up to 30 electrified cars by 2025.
• Today, Audi has 90 thousand employees around the world, of which 60 thousand work in Germany.
