BMW to Cut 8,000 Jobs and Reduce Management Roles in AI-Led Restructuring
BMW plans to cut about 8,000 jobs in Germany, including a 20% reduction in senior management roles by mid-2027, as part of a restructuring effort focused on cost reduction and increased use of artificial intelligence. The company aims to improve efficiency, streamline operations, and adapt its product strategy to market demands, especially in China and the US. BMW targets an automotive margin of 3 to 5% by 2028 and a return to 8 to 10% by the early 2030s amid challenges like weak demand and rising competition.
