Industry - Supplier network warns of job losses in the automotive industry

Following the abrupt end of e-car subsidies, the Saxon car supplier network AMZ has warned of job losses. With its current economic policy, the federal government is making itself untrustworthy and destroying the automotive industry, criticized network manager Dirk Vogel on Monday. "For years, it has been preached that the ecological conversion can only succeed by switching to e-vehicles." As a result, the automotive industry has rebuilt its production at great cost.

With the discontinuation of subsidies, the purchase of these vehicles will now become even more expensive, Vogel stated. This will lead to falling sales and job losses. "The employees at the Zwickau vehicle plant and the suppliers will certainly not thank the federal government for this support." VW in Zwickau has already made cuts this year due to weakening demand - the plant is a pure e-car factory.
