Dear reader, dear reader,
A new blow every week. First, Bosch announces that it will be deleted another 13,000 jobs in Germany by 2030. Now the new ZF boss Mathias Miedreich (50) puts on: 7600 jobs less in the drive division until 2030; Overall, he wants to reduce the number of jobs at ZF by 14,000 jobs.
Since the unification of Volkswagen boss Oliver Blume (57) with works council chief Daniela Cavallo (50) last December, the 35,000 jobs at VW, completely different degradation agreements have been possible in Germany than before. A new realism has returned to the industry. This year it continues with force: Audi, Daimler Truck, Porsche, now Bosch and ZF; Thousands of thousands, sometimes tens of thousands. Regardless of whether Bosch, ZF or before, may be too low in some places: the auto crisis has arrived in Germany, it seems. For everyone.
In autonomous driving, Volkswagen relies on the Intel subsidiary Mobileye. The technology of Israeli tech professionals is to make VWS ID.Buzz the robotaxi and, CEO Oliver Blume, enable the establishment of an entire autonomous taxi fleet. Only: Mobileye founder Amnon Shashua (65) has already promised some autonomy-and always disappointed. My colleagues Jonas Rest and Christoph Seyerlein followed the matter – and draw worrying conclusions: Does VW threaten a robotaxi flop?
Heads: Mathias Miedreich ++ Oliver Blume ++ Stefan Hartung ++ Martin Winterkorn ++ Rupert Stadler
Studies that juggle billions are not unusual in the world of management consultations. After all, it is about golden potential that can be exhausted in the future. The 255 billion euros now called out by Roland Berger are then amazing. The German energy system could be relieved of the calculations of the consultants in the maximum scenario by 2045. Provided at least, decentralized photovoltaic systems, home storage and heat pumps would be used accordingly. Why is Volkswagen Group Charging GmbH named Elli belonging to the New Energy Alliance, which indicates the billion dollar chance? Because in addition to the techniques mentioned, electric vehicles can also feed electricity into the networks.
Elli sees the battery of the electric car as the “driver of the energy transition”. Why so modest, the entire vehicle too?
A sunny week wishes you
Your Michael Friday
