Volkswagen Could Cut 100,000 Jobs in Massive Restructuring Push
mint - companies·Wednesday, 15 July 2026
Volkswagen is considering cutting an additional 50,000 jobs on top of the 50,000 already planned, as part of a sweeping restructuring effort. The pressure comes from US tariffs, fierce competition in China, and struggles with electric vehicle profitability. The CEO had previously promised 'smarter solutions' to avoid mass layoffs.

Volkswagen is one of the world's largest automakers. Job cuts of this scale send a clear signal about how badly the global auto industry is being squeezed by the EV transition and trade wars.
