BMW May Cut Up to 8,000 Jobs in Germany by 2027

BMW plans to cut up to 8,000 jobs in Germany by end of 2027 through a voluntary programme — meaning workers can choose to leave. Office and development roles are affected, not factory jobs. AFP reported the figure using a company source. That's nearly half of BMW's German staff. The new CEO cited China's slowdown, global tensions, and the car industry's tech shift.
