Volkswagen Group says its Future Plan 2030 requires a further adjustment of approximately 50,000 positions across the global workforce.
The plan runs through 2030 and is separate from Volkswagen's earlier agreement to reduce more than 35,000 positions at German sites. The company said the program will simplify structures, reduce management layers and redirect investment toward competitive products and technologies.
