Industry bodies in the automotive sector have called for investment in reskilling to mitigate job losses they say will result from a transition away from petrol and diesel vehicles. One such body has called on the EU to invest in educating the workforce, citing analysis that shows some jobs shed at traditional manufacturers will not be replaced at electric vehicle makers. US economists have highlighted a similar issue: with EVs requiring less labour to produce, they say the US needs to increase the market share of vehicles it makes to protect jobs.
