在柴油車需求下降的背景下，全球最大的汽車零件供應(yīng)商博世公司(Bosch)近日宣布將大量裁員，尤其在跟柴油機有關(guān)的業(yè)務(wù)上。博世在全球擁有41萬員工。在柴油機業(yè)務(wù)上的員工，截止到今年5月大約有5萬多人，在德國有1.5萬名員工。
德國大陸集團(Continental AG)表示，由于主要汽車制造商加速轉(zhuǎn)向電動汽車，需求下降速度快于預(yù)期，因此將削減對傳統(tǒng)發(fā)動機零部件的投資，這是一次重大的戰(zhàn)略轉(zhuǎn)變。大陸董事會已投票決定停止擴張其液壓元件業(yè)務(wù)，以便將重點和未來投資轉(zhuǎn)向電動汽車零部件。博世公司表示，汽車生產(chǎn)行業(yè)發(fā)展明顯變?nèi)酰?018年想像的還要弱得多，面對正在下降的柴油車需求，公司必須作出反應(yīng)。
大陸集團的這一舉動表明，對溫室氣體排放更嚴格的監(jiān)管正在推動該行業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)向電動汽車，并迫使制造商重新繪制供應(yīng)鏈。
