The maker of the renowned Golf and T-Roc marques reported a 2 per cent decline in revenue and its earnings per share were almost 45% lower than forecast.</p><p>The full transcript of VW’s earnings call hit financial newswires on Monday. It was held last week after the numbers were released, but before Trump’s latest threat. In it, the company put a number on the impact so far.</p><p>“US tariffs have been introduced and are weighing on our earnings by € 4bn annually,” Arno Antlitz, VW’s chief financial office told analysts.</p><p>And with words which rang out across the wider industry, he spoke of plans to “significantly reduce [the] complexity of our business model”.</p><p>Antlitz added: “Geopolitical tensions such as the conflict in the Middle East are worsening the global economic outlook. Against this backdrop, incremental cost measures will not be enough.</p><p>“We must fundamentally reshape our business model through structural, lasting improvements.”</p><p>The renewed threat of further taxes on European cars exported to the US will add to the problems faced by VW and across the wider sector.</p><p>It came after Trump tore up part of the wider deal he reached with the European Union last summer, amid anger in Washington at the length of time taken in Brussels to ratify what is known as the Turnberry Deal. It was famously struck when the president was at his Scottish golf course.</p><p>The hike takes the tariff up from the 15 per cent identified in the previous pact.</p><p>It was announced on Friday, when much of Europe was observing the May Day public holiday for which London markets stayed shut on Monday.</p><p>In response, the European Commission said it would “keep our options open”, according to local media reports.</p> </div>

<p>欧洲汽车制造商在美国总统特朗普宣布对进口汽车征收 25% 的关税后，面临显著的股价下跌。保时捷、大众汽车和梅赛德斯 - 奔驰等主要公司的股票大幅下跌，大众汽车预计关税将带来 40 亿欧元的年度影响。大众汽车的收益也未能达到预期，促使其计划简化商业模式。重新出现的关税威胁加剧了汽车行业面临的现有挑战，这些挑战受到地缘政治紧张局势和经济不确定性的影响。欧洲委员会正在考虑对此情况的回应</p>
