The article discusses the significant financial impact of U.S. tariffs on major automakers, highlighting the expected losses for Ford and General Motors, while Toyota faces the steepest financial toll. The 25% tariffs imposed on auto imports are leading to substantial profit declines for Toyota, projected at $1.2 billion over two months. Despite its financial strength, Toyota's reliance on Japanese imports exacerbates its situation. The article also touches upon trade relief efforts and other manufacturers' responses to the ongoing trade disputes.
Automotive News reported on Monday that Toyota is staring at a $1.2 billion profit drop in just two months. Toyota has decided against immediate price hikes on its U.S. models to minimize consumer impact, but that means it's likely eating up those losses.
Tariffs are expected to cost Ford $1.5 billion and General Motors between $4-$5 billion this fiscal year. The biggest impact could be on Toyota, potentially losing a million dollars every hour.
