According to Agence France-Presse, who cited the report, the plan would reduce the positions in supporting services-including human resources, finance and marketing with around 15%.
Bloomberg also reported the same, stating the French news site L’fforme report.
Renault did not comment immediately when he was reached by Bloomberg on Saturday. In his response to AFP on Friday, the company said that it had no number to communicate because no decision had been made. It added that ways were considering simplifying the operations, speeding up the execution and to optimize the fixed costs.
Renault is usually protected from American rates, because it does not sell cars on the American market, but it still felt the impact indirectly, Reuters had previously reported. European rivals, pressed by American trade barriers, have insisted harder to sell in the home region of Renault, which has added pressure to the French company.
At the same time, Renault is confronted with harder competition from Chinese players, both in electric and hybrid vehicles. With Europe – where Renault sells more than 70% of his cars – which has little growth, the company must expand in emerging markets. It has already announced plans to invest € 3 billion ($ 3.4 billion) to launch eight new Renault models for non-European markets by 2027.
