Siemens is entering an important process of dismissal on a global scale. The company announced that it will separate ways with approximately 6,000 employees worldwide. 450 of these deductions will take place in the Smart Infrastructure unit, which develops electric vehicle charging solutions. 250 employees in Germany will lose their work, while remaining in different countries will be made. The process is planned to be completed by the end of the 2025 financial year.

The company emphasizes that increasing competition and price pressure on low -power (level 2) charging devices make profitability difficult. For this reason, Siemens will shift the focal point to fast DC charging stations, which he considers more profitable, and to solutions for long -traveling vehicles with commercial fleets.

Another area where Siemens went to shrink was the factory automation section. In the digital industries unit, 5,600 employees will be terminated. The company states that the weakening demand is effective, especially in China and Germany.

It is known that the company has opened a factory in 2023 to produce commercial level 2 charger in Texas state of Texas. However, it is stated that Siemens plans to adopt a more localized approach because the regional markets have different charging standards in the future.
