Description
As announced on 17 January 2025, the German engine manufacturer Deutz, based in Cologne, plans to cut 200 jobs as part of a restructuring effort. Details of how the job cuts will be organized are not yet known.
The company aims to save 30 million euros in costs. The job cuts will primarily affect the research and development department, particularly as there are no new development projects in the combustion engine segment.
In 2024, the workforce had already been reduced by approximately 350 employees, primarily through positions left vacant after employees retired.
Deutz currently employs approximately 3,200 people worldwide.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
