Mercedes-Benz has halted all additional investments in Germany and is considering factory closures due to rising manufacturing costs and failed negotiations with employee representatives. This decision reflects the ongoing crisis in the European automotive industry, exacerbated by competition from Chinese manufacturers and the shift towards electrification. The company aims to cut costs but faces challenges in reaching agreements with unions. The situation is critical, with potential job losses affecting thousands in the sector, prompting calls for protective measures from the European Commission.
