Stellantis will cut 600 jobs at its Mulhouse plant in eastern France, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday, adding the move would concern workers on time contracts while those working with permanent labour were not affected.
A CFE-CGC union representative told Reuters the company cited the wider geopolitical situation and its current price race against competitors regarding electric cars as reasons for the cuts.
A Stellantis spokesperson said the decision was not linked to the tensions in the Red Sea, saying “we can see that the European market is hesitant”.
