This move is expected to result in the company recording a provision of $19.5 billion, most of which will be accounted for in the fourth quarter. ## Electric Vehicle Business Expected to Turn Profitable by 2029 According to media reports, Ford will no longer produce the all-electric version of the F-150 Lightning and will redesign it as a hybrid vehicle. Additionally, Ford will shift its focus to producing gasoline and hybrid models, with expectations that by 2030, the global sales share of its hybrid, extended-range electric, and all-electric vehicles will increase to 50%. Andrew Frick, head of Ford's electric vehicle division, stated at the press conference that these measures will enable Ford's electric vehicle business to achieve profitability by 2029. The division lost $5.1 billion last year, and losses are expected to be even more severe this year. ## Refusing to Hand Over the Future to Chinese Manufacturers Ford CEO Jim Farley further stated, "It makes no sense to continue pouring billions into products that we know will not be profitable; we have to make this choice." He also mentioned that the small and low-cost electric vehicle series set to launch in 2027 will still be able to compete with low-cost Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers like BYD (1211) and will not hand over the future to Chinese automakers. Reports indicate that the adoption rate of electric vehicles in the U.S. lags behind regions such as China, the UK, and Europe, partly due to the relatively weak support from the U.S. government for the industry. In fact, the Trump administration previously canceled incentives and regulatory measures that were expected to promote the adoption of electric vehicles, including the electric vehicle tax credit policy, which ended in September. These changes led to a surge in electric vehicle demand during the summer and September, and Ford also stated in October that third-quarter electric vehicle sales increased by 30% year-on-year, but only involved 30,600 units, accounting for less than 6% of its total U.S. sales. Although the company has not yet announced fourth-quarter electric vehicle sales, external estimates suggest that total electric vehicle sales in the U.S. will decline significantly ### 相關股票 - [Ford Motor (F.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/F.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [Ford and Renault announce partnership to jointly develop Ford brand small electric vehicles for Europe](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/269040450.md) - [NTSB raises questions on driver assistance systems, lack of regulations](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281204007.md) - [Gas prices are skyrocketing from the Iran war.
