Continental is cutting around 7,150 jobs in the automotive supply sector worldwide. At Continental, the restructuring now affects employees in research and development.
The company also wants to cut jobs in this area in the car division, largely in Germany. Annual savings of more than one billion euros per year were already planned in 2020, and up to 30,000 jobs were already considered threatened at that time. The plans also affect 380 jobs at the software subsidiary Elektrobit, which has its headquarters in Braunschweig.
