As the automotive sector braces for job losses in the wake of increased competition and the end of the combustion engine, bicycle manufacturers are encouraging redundant workers to enter the growing cycling industry.
Europe’s auto industry faces an uncertain future as competition from Chinese carmakers intensifies, and factories jettison decades of internal combustion engine knowledge to focus on zero-emission vehicles.
Some 3.4 million people are employed across the EU by the car industry, both directly and indirectly.
Internal combustion engines require hundreds of components, involving a broad supply chain of companies.
But according to CLEPA, a Brussels-based body representing automotive suppliers, a complete shift to electric vehicles could leave more than 500,000 employees in Europe out of work by 2040, or around 84% of the current combustion engines workforce.
While EV production will create new jobs, the net loss is expected to reach 275,000 autoworkers by 2040.

I have loads of fun Qtarding on the internet. AND I don't come home smelling like your wife's whispering eye like YOU do.My wife don't smell like that.
But you are divorced because you are a SFB Qtard.
