Renault will cut 20% of engineers due to increased competition from China

French automaker Renault will cut its global engineering workforce by 15-20% as it seeks to become more flexible in the face of competition from Chinese companies offering low-cost solutions. As Reuters clarifies, large-scale cuts will be carried out over the next two years.

It is known that the reduction will affect up to 2,400 employees, based on the current number of engineering personnel, which is about 11-12 thousand people. At the end of last year, Renault employed 101 thousand employees.

Earlier it became known that headless robots will replace people at Renault factories by 2027. Developed in collaboration with French startup Wandercraft, the Calvin-40 robot was created in just 40 days and has no head.

Unlike the Tesla Optimus robot or the developments being tested by Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Calvin-40 does not try to imitate a person. His task is to perform simple but physically demanding operations.
