Opel ITEZ: 650 of 1,650 Engineering Jobs at Risk in Rüsselsheim · ~650 roles

Stellantis plans to cut 650 engineering positions out of the 1,650 engineers still employed at Opel's International Technical Development Center (ITEZ) in Rüsselsheim, Germany, putting those jobs under acute threat. The article links the reductions to Stellantis's broader Fastlane 2030 strategy, shrinking European production capacity by 800,000 cars annually and shifting key development (powertrain, battery, digital architecture) to partners Leapmotor and Dongfeng. The ITEZ has been hollowed out over years through outsourcing and prior cuts, and the current move would sharply curtail Opel's engineering scope to subsystems like steering, seats, and lighting. The piece situates these threatened cuts within wider Stellantis restructuring, past global job losses since the 2021 merger, plant closures, and repeated short-time work at multiple European sites, and criticizes unions for not effectively resisting the reductions.
