Bosch needs to cut up to 1,500 jobs at its two German plants by 2025 to “adapt workforce levels to changing demand and technology in the automotive sector,” the company said.

The workforce cuts were first reported by weekly trade newspaper Automobilwoche, a sister publication of Automotive News Europe. “Like other companies, we have to adapt,” a Bosch spokesman said in emailed comments. “We see a need to reduce our workforce by 1,500 people in the areas of development, administration and sales at the Feuerbach and Schwieberdingen plants by the end of 2025.”

Bosch said it was trying to achieve this through employee transfers, early retirement or voluntary agreements, adding that the group was in talks with the works council over specific details.

“We are faced with significantly more serious problems than expected at the beginning of the year. Even if we want to maintain employment levels as best as possible with new products and a wide range of training measures, we will have to adapt this to the real situation,” said a Bosch spokesman.

Bosch ranks first on the list of leading global suppliers with annual auto parts sales of $50.46 billion in 2022.

The remnants of near-Earth comet 46P/Wirtanen (46P/Wirtanen) may enter the Earth’s atmosphere, causing a new meteor shower called the Lambda-Sculptorids on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.

A team of scientists led by an astronomer at the Paris Observatory wanted to answer the question of why the meteor shower previously created by the remnants of this comet was not seen on Earth. They found out that such an event should happen very soon – on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.

Scientists said:

Results show a possible impact forecast for December 12, 2023, between 8:00 and 12:30 UTC [11:00 и 15:30 по Москве]. The level of activity of the shower is highly uncertain due to the lack of data on past starfalls. Overall, the best observations for the forecast day will be in Eastern Australia, New Zealand and Oceania.

The progenitor of the potential new meteor shower is comet 46P/Wirtanen, which was discovered in 1948 and orbits the Sun every 5.4 years, much faster than many other known comets.
