Summary

Audi announced plans to cut 7,500 jobs in Germany by 2029, representing 8% of its global workforce.

The automaker cited economic challenges, weak electric vehicle demand, and competition from China.

The company will extend job security protections until 2033, ensuring no compulsory redundancies, with reductions occurring through voluntary departures and contract expirations.

The Germany’s auto sector faces declining production, potential U.S. tariffs, and growing pressure from Chinese manufacturers.
