Description
Traktionssysteme Austria (TSA), an Austrian manufacturer in the electrical equipment sector, announced the creation of around 100 new jobs at its Wiener Neudorf production site, where the company builds traction motors for rail and road vehicles. This expansion concerns production workers and technical staff linked to a major capacity increase at the plant.
The investment is driven by strong growth in electric mobility, with rising global demand for traction systems for electric buses, lorries and rail vehicles. Construction of a new high-technology stamping centre for electrical steel (“TSA-City”) has begun, with the first project phase scheduled for completion next year and full production expected to start in 2027. The company plans to invest EUR 9.5 million in this new facility and an additional EUR 30 million in related projects over the next five years.
Political representatives, including the federal minister attending the groundbreaking ceremony, expressed strong support for the expansion, emphasising its regional economic significance.
TSA currently employs around 450 workers and is recognised as a global leader in traction motor manufacturing, supplying the European and US markets with rail and road powertrain systems.

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.
