Ford, facing economic headwinds and weak EV sales, to cut 4,000 jobs in Europe

Ford Motor Co. is slashing 4,000 jobs across Europe, primarily in Germany, by 2027. The automaker cites economic challenges, intensified competition, and lower-than-anticipated electric vehicle sales as reasons for the workforce reduction. Ford’s European sales have declined significantly this year, mirroring the industry’s struggles with shrinking markets and pressure from Chinese EV manufacturers.
