class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Ford has announced it will cut 800 jobs in the UK over the next three years.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The move is part of a major restructuring programme, which will see 4,000 posts closed across Europe as a whole.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The company said it had to act because of difficult trading conditions, including intense competition and weak demand for electric vehicles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>However, the cuts will not affect its manufacturing sites in Dagenham and Halewood, or its logistics base in Southampton. Ford said it hoped to make the majority of job cuts through voluntary redundancy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cMaking this announcement isn\u2019t something that anybody wants to do, and I appreciate it will have a very significant impact on our employees,\u201d said Lisa Brankin, managing director of Ford of Britain and Ireland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIt\u2019s not the news anyone wants to hear at any time. So our aim is to try to deliver this through voluntary redundancy.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ford has 5,300 employees in the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The restructuring plan will remove 15% of its workforce. The majority of them are expected to be administrative or product development roles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This is the second round of cuts to hit Ford\u2019s operations in Britain in less than two years. In March 2023 it said&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-64629072\"><em>1,300 jobs were to go<\/em><\/a><em>, a fifth of its workforce, most of them at the Dunton site.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The latest announcement comes at a time when car manufacturers across Europe are struggling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Among the issues they face are high energy costs, weaker than expected demand for electric cars and growing competition from Chinese manufacturers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Many of the continent\u2019s biggest names, including Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz and BMW have seen their profits tumble this year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Volkswagen is even contemplating the closure of factories in Germany, a step that would be unprecedented.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe automotive industry is going through a period of massive disruption at the moment,\u201d explained Ms Brankin.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve got unprecedented competition, regulation and lots of economic headwinds\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Those pressures are hitting Ford at a difficult time. The carmaker is attempting to move away from its past as a mass-manufacturer of cheap &#8220;runabouts&#8221;, and position itself as more upmarket brand, focused on electric cars. Last year,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-66130803#:~:text=The%20last%20Ford%20Fiesta%20will,to%20produce%20more%20electric%20vehicles.\"><em>&nbsp;it stopped making the Fiesta<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;after nearly five decades.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In addition to the cuts in the UK, Ford will be shedding 2,900 jobs in Germany and another 300 in the rest of Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Meanwhile in Britain, the government&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cz6je5w7n3yo\"><em>is coming under intense pressure from the car industry<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;over rules designed to force them to build more electric vehicles. The issue is due to be discussed at a meeting between industry and ministers on Wednesday afternoon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Under the so-called Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate, which came into force this year, at least 22% of cars sold must be classed as zero emission. If manufacturers fail to hit their quotas, they could face fines of up to \u00a315,000 per car.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A number of carmakers are already struggling to meet their targets, although there are flexible mechanisms built into the rules which should allow them to avoid fines for the moment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>But the quota is due to rise to 28% next year, and to 33% in 2026 \u2013 being ramped up each year after that to hit 80% by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Manufacturers insist this is happening too fast. Although sales of new EVs are rising \u2013 with one in five cars sold in October being battery powered, they say this is misleading.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>They claim demand for electric cars simply isn\u2019t high enough yet, forcing them to offer unsustainable discounts in an effort to meet their targets.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some are calling for the government to water down the quotas, in order to give them more time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Others say it needs to offer greater taxpayer-funded incentives for electric cars, and to do more to reassure car buyers that enough charging infrastructure will be built.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c20626dy9d6o\">https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c20626dy9d6o<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three of the problems identified \u2013 EVs, energy prices and competition from China \u2013 can be directly laid at successive governments\u2019 doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As was obvious from the beginning, there never was enough demand for EVs for the mandated targets to be achieved. Manufacturers have been forced into offering unaffordable discounts for EVs, and are now cutting back on ICE cars, so as to artificially increase the ratio of EVs. Even then, some will still not meet ZEV targets, and carrying the deficit forward is a mug\u2019s game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it was equally obvious that banning the sale of petrol\/diesel cars would open the door to cheap Chinese EVs. All we were doing was throwing away the technological advantages that UK and European manufacturers had built up over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy prices, of course, speak for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless the EV madness is abandoned and electricity prices reduced to competitive levels, both the UK and European car industries will be much smaller in ten years&#8217; time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to the cuts in the UK, Ford will be shedding 2,900 jobs in Germany and another 300 in the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":352084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691831623,691818859,691831624],"class_list":{"0":"post-352080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-dagenham-and-halewood","9":"tag-ford","10":"tag-job-cuts","12":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/0geel-ford-mustang-mach-e.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1tAI","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":417543,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=417543","url_meta":{"origin":352080,"position":0},"title":"Ford takes $20bn hit to reverse course on electric\u00a0cars","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"17\/12\/2025","format":false,"excerpt":"The US car giant cut back electric vehicle (EV) production, including the production of large battery-powered pickup trucks, because of a\u00a0slump in demand\u00a0from drivers.","rel":"","context":"In \"Automotive industry\"","block_context":{"text":"Automotive industry","link":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?tag=automotive-industry"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0AQNlnq_TtjB5DvMgU5P2wY-sSz4rm4G0l_LND7cn_kkZbqPU8yn1SZi3EEAoSfiuadPRkOnlD-uEjuY89NSe77OVcPAqxXMnhp6j3EZoE8CjKa3jL32gqz2Pipub6aJE-1.jpeg?fit=1200%2C524&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0AQNlnq_TtjB5DvMgU5P2wY-sSz4rm4G0l_LND7cn_kkZbqPU8yn1SZi3EEAoSfiuadPRkOnlD-uEjuY89NSe77OVcPAqxXMnhp6j3EZoE8CjKa3jL32gqz2Pipub6aJE-1.jpeg?fit=1200%2C524&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0AQNlnq_TtjB5DvMgU5P2wY-sSz4rm4G0l_LND7cn_kkZbqPU8yn1SZi3EEAoSfiuadPRkOnlD-uEjuY89NSe77OVcPAqxXMnhp6j3EZoE8CjKa3jL32gqz2Pipub6aJE-1.jpeg?fit=1200%2C524&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0AQNlnq_TtjB5DvMgU5P2wY-sSz4rm4G0l_LND7cn_kkZbqPU8yn1SZi3EEAoSfiuadPRkOnlD-uEjuY89NSe77OVcPAqxXMnhp6j3EZoE8CjKa3jL32gqz2Pipub6aJE-1.jpeg?fit=1200%2C524&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0AQNlnq_TtjB5DvMgU5P2wY-sSz4rm4G0l_LND7cn_kkZbqPU8yn1SZi3EEAoSfiuadPRkOnlD-uEjuY89NSe77OVcPAqxXMnhp6j3EZoE8CjKa3jL32gqz2Pipub6aJE-1.jpeg?fit=1200%2C524&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":340572,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=340572","url_meta":{"origin":352080,"position":1},"title":"If Ford can\u2019t crack electric cars, no one\u00a0can","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"24\/08\/2024","format":false,"excerpt":"It had the history, the manufacturing muscle, the capital, and the brand to make it work.
