NEW YORK, Feb 11 (Bernama-dpa) — Ford closed the last quarter with heavy losses of US$11.1 billion, according to results released by the US car giant on Tuesday, reported German news agency dpa.<\/p>\n

The decisive factors were the restructuring of its heavily loss-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 US$19.5 billion on battery-powered vehicles. Ford had closed the same quarter last year with a profit of US$1.8 billion. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

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

At the divisional level, the picture was similar to previous quarters: the electric car division posted an operating loss of US$1.2 billion. Meanwhile, cars with combustion engines brought Ford an operating profit of US$727 million, and the commercial vehicle division earned about US$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 electric cars to their model ranges. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In the future, Ford intends to focus more on hybrid vehicles – and on smaller models in the electric car segment. The fully electric version of the large F-150 pickup truck has been discontinued.<\/p>\n
