Mercedes-Benz plans to cut personnel costs in Germany by €800 million

German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz wants to cut its personnel costs in Germany by 800 million euros, just over 9 billion kronor.

These include longer working hours and changes to holiday and Christmas bonuses, sources told the German newspaper Wirtschaftswoche. Mercedes-Benz has not commented on the information.

The German automotive industry is under severe pressure, partly due to reduced demand from China.

Mercedes-Benz said the other day that the company may be forced to close factories if it does not reduce its costs.
