British automakers Bentley, Aston Martin, and McLaren have announced nearly 3,000 job cuts over the past two weeks as the CCP virus pandemic hammers sales of luxury cars.
Bentley said in a statement Friday that it plans to cut 1,000 jobs in the United Kingdom, or about a quarter of its workforce. The company, which was founded 100 years ago and is owned by Volkswagen, said the arrival of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus meant that an “urgent reduction in the workforce” was needed.
