BMW targets German office and development roles in voluntary job-reduction program

BMW said it will reduce several thousand positions in Germany by the end of 2027 through a voluntary redundancy program agreed with its works council. The company confirmed that administration and development divisions are targeted while production operations are excluded; a person familiar with the matter told Reuters the overall workforce reduction could be around 8,000.

Roles tied to Germany-based development should be tested for replacement status, program funding and overlap with the voluntary reduction.
