Cutremur în industria auto europeană: O companie-mamut taie 100.000 de posturi și cade din elita bursieră. Alt gigant amenință să închidă două fabrici

The German automotive industry is facing significant challenges, with Mercedes-Benz threatening to close two factories unless cost-cutting measures are accepted. Volkswagen has drastically lowered its profit estimates and is undergoing massive restructuring, having been removed from the Euro Stoxx 50 index after 15 years. Mercedes is pushing for increased productivity without wage increases, while protests from employees highlight resistance to these changes. Meanwhile, Volkswagen's stock has plummeted, and the company anticipates job cuts of up to 100,000 as it restructures to compete with cheaper electric vehicle manufacturers. Both companies are struggling with declining sales in China, which has historically been a key market for them.
