Jean-Louis Pech, president of the Federation of Vehicle Equipment Industries, highlighted the gravity of the situation during a press conference. He noted that, based on current trends, the loss of half of the sector's jobs within the next five years was a very real possibility. Pech explained that this scenario would not be an exaggeration, as the rapid pace of change in the industry could lead to job cuts sooner than expected. He warned that the impact could be severe and felt within a short timeframe if the issues facing the sector are not addressed.
