► Affects Ford’s engineering and administrative teamsFord has announced it will slash 1300 jobs from its UK workforce over the next three years.
Both the company’s engineering and administrative operations will be affected, with 1000 workers facing redundancy from the former team and 300 from the latter.
Ford says the restructure is motivated by its electrification strategy. The company plans to introduce nine new electric vehicles by 2024 – at least two of which will be based on the Volkswagen Group’s tried-and-tested MEB platform. This means Ford can lean on Volkswagen’s engineers, which will save it time and money on developing its own pure-electric platform.
Martin Sander, European General Manager for Ford’s electric vehicles, said: ‘Paving the way to a sustainably profitable future for Ford in Europe requires broad-based actions and changes in the way we develop, build and sell Ford vehicles. This will impact the organizational structure, talent, and skills we will need in the future.
