Talking to the German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Ernst Baumann said the decision was made to avoid the need for possible staff reductions.
The newspaper noted that from 2001 to 2004, the company opened 11,000 new jobs in Germany, and in 2005 hired additional 1,000 employees.
Meanwhile, BMW’s sales and marketing chief told reporters at the Geneva motor show today (28 February) that the company expects vehicle sales growth in 2006 to slow down from last year’s 9.9 percent increase.
“Alone from base effect, we will not be able to achieve that growth,” Michael Ganal was quoted saying by Reuters.
