Volkswagen plans to cut more than 10,000 jobs in coming years as the German auto giant switches its focus to making electric cars in the wake of the “dieselgate” scandal, a top executive has said.
“It’s not about dismantling a few hundred jobs,” VW’s head of human resources Karlheinz Blessing told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung’s Saturday edition.
“Over the years, it will amount to a five-digit figure around the world.”
