Uber cuts 3,300 jobs as it moves forward with the acquisition of Glovo's parent company

Expresso2 September 2026 at 19:25

Uber announced a 10% reduction of its global workforce, equivalent to the elimination of approximately 3,300 jobs. This restructuring comes in a context where the company seeks to reinforce its growth and optimize the organizational structure.

The decision to cut jobs comes as Uber moves forward with an acquisition offer for Delivery Hero, the company that owns Glovo. This acquisition represents a strategic move by Uber to expand its presence in the food delivery market and other services.

The job cuts affect various areas of the company globally and are part of a broader restructuring plan. Uber intends in this way to become more efficient and prepared to compete in an increasingly competitive market in the digital platforms sector.

American Ford targets Defense sector and wants to sell military vehicles to NATO

Ford is trying to return to the defense business in Europe, almost four decades after leaving this activity, taking advantage of the race to replace the British Army's light vehicles. The company is competing for the Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV) program, valued at around 2 billion pounds, in partnership with General Dynamics Land Systems and the Ricardo group. Ford's strategy involves expanding Ranger pickup truck sales to other NATO countries, using a common military vehicle base that allows component sharing and logistical simplification among allies. The company also intends to bring its after-sales support network and supply chains to the United Kingdom, including engine production at the Dagenham factory.
