Volkswagen (VW) has many problems. There are reports about big job cuts. Maybe 100,000 jobs go away. A magazine reported this.
The Betriebs-Rat has no exact numbers. The Vor-Stand gave answers. But real goals for job cuts were missing. Maybe VW closes factories in Germany.
4 factories might close. These are Hannover, Emden, Zwickau and Neckarsulm. The union and the Betriebs-Rat want to fight this. On July 9, the Vor-Stand shows plans to the Aufsichts-Rat.
VW ends the partnership with Bosch. Both firms worked on the autonomes Fahren. This means a car drives by itself. The technology was not good enough.
Cariad is a software firm for VW. It worked with Bosch. But the results were bad. VW sees a big gap to rivals in the USA and China.
VW wants to buy ready technology now. They spent 1.5 billion Euro on the partnership. Now VW stops this. VW wants to save its business.
