Ford announced it is eliminating 4,000 jobs in Europe as the automaker struggles with disappointing EV sales. The move is the latest in a wave of layoff announcements that have also come from Nissan, Stellantis, Volkswagen, and others amid a challenging global market.
The cuts reflect mounting pressure on legacy automakers navigating the costly transition to electric vehicles. For Ford’s European workforce, the reductions signal just how difficult conditions have become as the industry confronts softening demand and rising costs.
