Volkswagen has reached a deal with workers on job cuts that will help the flagship brand contribute up to 4 billion euros ($4.37 billion) to the group next year.

The German carmaker said that it aims to cut administrative staff costs at the Volkswagen brand by 20% as part of its cost-savings measures meant to save the group EUR10 billion. The move should help the Volkswagen brand reach its 6.5% profitability target by 2026.

The brand will maintain the current hiring freeze, it said. Other measures include cuts to development times and procurement improvements, the company said.
