Description
German company Bosch Engineering, a subsidiary of Bosch, has announced plans to cut 460 jobs worldwide.
In Germany, the company is to cut 380 jobs at its Abstatt site Bosch Engineering 2025-DE . The company first outlined this restructuring initiative in August 2025 and plans to complete it by 2027. Job reductions will be carried out through voluntary exit programmes.
Additionally, Bosch Engineering will cut another 80 jobs in different locations worldwide.
The decision is attributed to ongoing challenges in the automotive industry, including persistent overcapacity and mounting cost pressures. Job reductions will be carried out through voluntary exit programmes and severance packages.
Bosch Engineering specialises in developing solutions for vehicle and engine manufacturers. Globally, Bosch Engineering employs around 3,000 people.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
