Thyssenkrupp Automotive Technology announced plans on Wednesday to eliminate up to 180 positions in Germany as part of a significant restructuring within its chassis division. The job reductions will primarily affect employees in development and engineering roles at the company's facilities in Essen and Ennepetal.

Thyssenkrupp specified that its shock absorber manufacturing operations at the Ennepetal site will not be affected by the changes. The focus on engineering and development roles suggests a potential consolidation or shift in the company's research and development strategy for its chassis business.
