New York – Ford closed the last quarter with heavy losses of$11.1 billion, according to results released by the US car giant on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The decisive factors were the restructuring of its heavilyloss-making electric vehicle business, a fire at an aluminium supplier, and US President Donald Trump’s import tariffs.<\/p>\n

The US carmaker had already announced a write-down of $19.5 billionon battery-powered vehicles. Ford had closed the same quarter lastyear with a profit of $1.8 billion.<\/p>\n

Sales fell by 5% year-on-year to $45.9 billion.<\/p>\n

At the divisional level, the picture was similar to previousquarters: the electric car division posted an operating loss of $1.2billion. Meanwhile, cars with combustion engines brought Ford anoperating profit of $727 million, and the commercial vehicle division earned about $1.2 billion on this basis.<\/p>\n

Following Tesla’s success, the major US carmakers General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis invested billions of dollars to add more electriccars to their model ranges.<\/p>\n

In the future, Ford intends to focus more on hybrid vehicles – and onsmaller models in the electric car segment. <\/p>\n

The fully electric version of the large F-150 pickup truck has been discontinued.<\/p>\n
