> Volkswagen has approved plans to eliminate a further 50,000 jobs by 2030, bringing expected cuts to 100,000, or about 15% of its workforce. The German carmaker will halve its model range, while the future of four plants in Germany cannot be guaranteed into the 2030s, amid Chinese competition, weaker China sales and US tariffs.
