BMW Plans Up to 8,000 Job Cuts in Germany by 2027

BMW confirmed voluntary redundancies — a programme letting staff leave by choice — targeting administration and development, not production. AFP, citing a company source, reported up to 8,000 cuts by end-2027, nearly half of BMW's German workforce out of 160,000 globally. CEO Milan Nedeljković, three months in the role, blamed China's slowdown, geopolitical uncertainty, and the auto industry's tech shift.
