According to a Ford spokesperson, the significantly lower than expected demand for electric vehicles in Germany requires a temporary adjustment of production volumes at the Cologne Electric Vehicle Centre.
Ford's internal memo indicated that the Cologne plant 'is producing more than we can sell,' highlighting the company's struggle with weak EV sales in the region.
The German auto market has faced weak sales throughout 2024, with BEV sales dropping 5% in October 2024 and accounting for less than 15% of new registrations.
After the abrupt end of the German government's EV subsidy program in December 2023, sales of battery electric vehicles have been on a downward trend.
