The move is related to the ‘indirect headcount reduction initiative’ that was announced in June this year.
The reduction will “significantly strengthen” Autoliv’s competitive position long-term, it said, citing the need to adapt to a “substantially lower level” of light vehicle production in post-pandemic Europe.
Its workforce in France will be cut by approximately 20%, or 320 employees.
It is expected to take place in H1 of 2024, being fully implemented by the end of 2025.
