The Volkswagen Group is slashing 2,000 jobs at its Cariad software division as a part of a strategic restructuring plan, triggering a chain reaction of delays for the development of future electric vehicle platforms, German publication manager magazine reported yesterday. The group’s board of directors has approved the downsizing, which will occur between 2024 and the end of 2025, said manager magazine, citing leading executives from the group.
It’s unclear if the recent announcement will affect the rollout and push back the release dates. The Volkswagen Group and Cariad did not immediately respond to our request for comment at the time of publishing. The restructuring impacts the next-generation Scalable Systems Platform as well, which is also being redeveloped. SSP is a next-generation architecture that VW Group intends to use for a wide range of EVs, from compact VW-badged hatchbacks to high-performance Porsches.
