The restructuring targets engineering and software teams that support electric and autonomous vehicle systems, and is part of a broader strategic repositioning of the company’s global support functions. Management cited shifting customer demands, volatile demand patterns, and persistent cost pressure as the main drivers, while also accelerating digital capabilities in software and electronics integration.
Thyssenkrupp currently employs a total of about 3000 people in Hungary.
