Volvo to cut 3,000 jobs in global restructuring drive
Despite strong 2024 profits and record sales, Volvo is set to cut around 3,000 jobs globally - 1,200 employee roles and 1,000 consultant contracts in Sweden, as part of an SEK 18 billion (£1.39bn) cost-saving plan. The move aims to lower costs amid rising pressures from electrification investments, macroeconomic uncertainty, and supply chain issues.
