Berlin — German car parts manufacturer Continental will cut thousands of jobs worldwide as part of a plan to save €400 million ($428 million) a year from 2025, it said Monday.
The cuts, in the company’s Automotive division, which produces software, safety features and autonomous driving technology, will amount to the “mid-four-digit range,” Continental said.
The group’s main businesses are making tires; the Automotive division; and a third division making digital technologies for autos and other sectors called ContiTech.
The number of business areas within the Automotive division will be reduced from six to five.
Last week the company reported that the Automotive business returned to profit in the third quarter and predicted a strong quarter ahead.
