Description
Siemens Mobility, a German technology group specialising in rail vehicle manufacturing, is creating over 500 new jobs in production, development and administration as part of the expansion of its Munich-Allach site.
The €250 million investment includes state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, AI-based solutions and a doubling of the site's floor space to over 100,000 m². The expansion is scheduled for completion by 2028, with service capacity tripling by 2026. The new jobs will be created primarily in technical areas as well as in software and data analysis. Siemens Mobility will bundle management, development and service at the site in the future.
Politicians and the city welcome the investment as a boost to the high-tech location, and there are no known conflicts with employee representatives.
Siemens Mobility currently employs around 2,000 people in Allach, and this figure will rise to over 2,500 in the future.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
