AUMOVIO Restructures R&D for Competitive Edge

AUMOVIO SE is implementing measures to enhance the competitiveness of its Research and Development (R&D) amidst a challenging market environment. The company plans to reduce up to 4,000 positions globally by the end of 2026, ensuring a socially responsible approach. The company targets reducing its R&D expense ratio to below ten percent of sales by 2027, down from 11.9 percent in Q3 2025.

CEO Philipp von Hirschheydt emphasized a focus on value-creating technologies and strong partnerships. AUMOVIO will prioritize investments in software-defined vehicles, autonomous mobility, and electronic braking systems. In Germany, dialogue with employee representatives aims to find alternatives to job reductions.

The strategy involves consolidating operations across all business areas, aligning with market trends, and enhancing efficiency through standardization and automation. These efforts are expected to maintain AUMOVIO's technological leadership in future mobility solutions.
