Audi to Cut 7,500 Jobs in Germany by 2029 in Major Restructuring

The company will invest €8 billion in German facilities and extend job guarantees to 2033 as it tackles financial challenges and declining sales.

Audi's restructuring plan includes cutting 7,500 jobs in Germany, with 6,000 reductions by 2027 and the remaining 1,500 by 2029.
Job cuts will focus on non-production roles, such as administration and development, and will be implemented without forced layoffs.
The company has extended its employment guarantee to 2033 and plans to save over €1 billion annually through cost-cutting measures.
Audi will invest €8 billion in its Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm facilities, securing new production lines for the Q3 and an additional electric vehicle model.
The restructuring comes as Audi faces declining sales, particularly in China, and challenges in the electric vehicle market, with financial results for 2024 expected to show significant losses.
