Up to 400 people could soon lose their jobs, following a decision by Volvo Cars to not renew contracts for a third of their consultants in Gothenburg.

The consultants have been working with upgrading several of the company's models, and that work is almost completed, the company says.

The weak economy means that the company is also being more careful when it hires new people, news agency TT reports.
