在柴油车需求下降的背景下，全球最大的汽车零件供应商博世公司(Bosch)近日宣布将大量裁员，尤其在跟柴油机有关的业务上。博世在全球拥有41万员工。在柴油机业务上的员工，截止到今年5月大约有5万多人，在德国有1.5万名员工。
德国大陆集团(Continental AG)表示，由于主要汽车制造商加速转向电动汽车，需求下降速度快于预期，因此将削减对传统发动机零部件的投资，这是一次重大的战略转变。大陆董事会已投票决定停止扩张其液压元件业务，以便将重点和未来投资转向电动汽车零部件。博世公司表示，汽车生产行业发展明显变弱，比2018年想像的还要弱得多，面对正在下降的柴油车需求，公司必须作出反应。
大陆集团的这一举动表明，对温室气体排放更严格的监管正在推动该行业转向电动汽车，并迫使制造商重新绘制供应链。
