Hundreds of jobs to go at Fortescue Zero

Job Cuts at Fortescue Zero

Hundreds of jobs are to be cut from Fortescue's battery-making arm, Fortescue Zero.

The decision comes after the miner chose to manufacture batteries for its haul trucks in China instead.

Reason for the Decision

Fortescue had previously planned to produce the batteries itself, but has now opted to outsource production to China.
