German car manufacturer BMW is cutting thousands of jobs by the end of 2027 through a voluntary redundancy program, a corporate spokesperson told POLITICO.
Up to 8,000 jobs are expected to be culled under the program, with offers going out beginning in October, according to internal corporate sources.
The program targets German-based workers in administrative and research and development roles, the spokesperson said.
