Aumovio to Cut 4,000 Jobs Worldwide, With Deep R&D Reductions at German Sites

The supplier seeks to lower research spending below 10% of revenue by 2027 through a restructuring focused on consolidating development.

Overview

  • Germany is slated for a high three-digit share of the reductions, with company figures citing up to about 180 roles in Lindau, 100 in Regensburg, more than 30 in Ingolstadt, 275 in Ulm, 220 in Frankfurt, and 130 in Markdorf.
  • The measures target research and development functions and are intended to be completed within this year across sites in India, Singapore, Romania, Serbia, Mexico, and Germany.
  • Local reports indicate the Markdorf operation could be more than halved, with up to 130 of roughly 230 positions at risk.
  • A voluntary exit program in Germany is scheduled to begin in early March as management negotiates with employee representatives.
  • Aumovio, spun off from Continental’s automotive division in 2025, cites standardization, automation, and a sharper technology focus as drivers of a lower headcount in development.
