<span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The plans were presented to employees in Munich on Wednesday by chief executive Milan Nedeljkovi\u0107 and works council chairman Martin Kimmich, according to German media reports.<\/p>\n<p>BMW and its works council have agreed a voluntary redundancy programme targeting administrative and development roles, while production will be excluded, a company spokesperson told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>A person familiar with the plans told the news agency that BMW\u2019s global workforce was expected to shrink by around 8,000 employees. The group employed 154,540 people worldwide at the end of 2025, according to BMW.<\/p>\n<div id=\"connatix-container-disabled\" class=\"connatix-container\">\n<div id=\"connatix-player-disabled\" data-ad-name=\"connatix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Handelsblatt, citing company sources, reported that the programme would begin in October 2026 and continue until the end of 2027. The newspaper said BMW expected the measures to generate annual savings of around \u20ac1 billion from 2028.<\/p>\n<p>More than half of BMW\u2019s workforce is based in Germany, where the voluntary redundancy programme will operate. A substantial proportion of the reductions is therefore expected to occur in the country, according to German media reports.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00fcnchner Merkur reported that administrative and development roles in Munich, Regensburg, Dingolfing and Leipzig were expected to be particularly affected.<\/p>\n<p>BMW\u2019s Research and Innovation Centre, known as the FIZ, employs around 25,000 engineers, developers, designers and business specialists in Munich, according to the newspaper. Administrative and development roles are expected to account for most of the reductions.<\/p>\n<h2>BMW turns to voluntary redundancy programme<\/h2>\n<p>BMW does not plan to make compulsory redundancies. Instead, the company is launching what the German media described, citing company sources, as the largest voluntary redundancy programme in its history.<\/p>\n<p>The offers will be aimed primarily at employees in administration and development rather than production workers.<\/p>\n<p>The programme is expected to cost BMW hundreds of millions of euros, although the company said the final amount was difficult to estimate because it would depend on how many employees accepted an offer.<\/p>\n<p>Individual severance payments will be determined by employees\u2019 salaries and length of service.<\/p>\n<p>BMW management and employee representatives had held intensive negotiations over the programme during the previous six weeks, with Wednesday\u2019s staff meeting serving as a deadline for reaching an agreement.<\/p>\n<h3>BMW follows other German carmakers in cutting jobs<\/h3>\n<p>BMW has come under pressure from weaker business in China and the structural transformation of the automotive industry, including intensifying competition from Chinese carmakers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-euronews\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n<div class=\"auto widget__ratio widget__ratio--16x9\"><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In June, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2026\/06\/17\/bmw-warns-of-significant-profit-decline-as-shares-fall-7\"><strong>BMW lowered its 2026 profit forecast,<\/strong><\/a> citing worsening conditions in China and the effects of the conflict in the Middle East.
