Schaeffler, a major German automotive supplier, has confirmed plans to close four plants in Germany and implement significant job cuts due to structural weaknesses in the automotive sector. Unconfirmed reports indicate a broader restructuring across the European auto supply chain, with another major German supplier planning five European plant closures and thousands of job losses, driven by weak combustion-engine demand and slower EV growth.
