特朗普关税政策已导致汽车行业持续数周的不确定性，欧美主要车企纷纷调整预测、转移产能甚至暂停 工厂运营。 在汽车行业持续施压后，政府虽放宽了汽车零部件进口关税政策——对本土生产给予税收抵免并避免汽 车原材料双重征税，但针对美国年进口800万辆整车征收的25%关税仍未取消。 福特汽车(F.US)宣布自5月2日起对三款墨西哥产车型提价，成为特朗普政府加征关税政策实施后首批调 整指导价的大型车企之一。 根据发给经销商的通知，野马Mach-E电动SUV、Maverick皮卡及Bronco Sport等车型的部分版本最高涨 价达2000美元。 本周早些时候，福特预估特朗普贸易战将导致其2025年成本增加约25亿美元，但公司计划通过措施将影 响缩减至约10亿美元。竞争对手通用汽车(GM.US)上周表示，在汽车进口高额关税政策实施后，预计将 承担40-50亿美元成本，但有望通过策略抵消至少30%的影响。 福特发言人表示，本次调价适用于5月2日后生产的车辆，这些车型将于6月下旬抵达经销商处。该发言 人强调，此次调价既包含"常规"年中价格调整，也反映了"部分关税成本的传导"，但"并未将全部关税 转嫁给消费者"。 该发言人表示，公 ...

长沙晚报全媒体记者 曹开阳 近日，国内外主流车企纷纷发布2024年年报和2025年一季报。在这些财报中，营业收入、净利润等指标，公众关 注较多，而且也较为熟悉；而像负债率、负债结构、应收账款等重要指标，却较易被公众忽视。其实，正是在这 些指标中隐藏着企业经营的关键信息，若加以研判能看出不少门道，并据此厘清企业的经营状况和产业的未来发 展轨迹。 国外车企经营如何，国内车企发展怎样，让我们扒开财报中公众较少关注的数据一探究竟。 主流车企负债率普遍超60% 从财务角度出发，企业负债率（负债总额÷资产总额×100%）是一项重要指标。汽车是典型的资金密集型产业，其 发展离不开巨额投资与研发投入，同时汽车生产需要使用昂贵的设备及大片的土地，因此资金门槛极高，且随着 生产规模的扩大，资金需求还会水涨船高。所以，全球主流汽车企业负债经营成为常态。纵观国内外主流车企财 报，其总负债都处于较高水平，且企业规模越大、营收越高、总负债也越高。 分类别看，全球头部车企总负债普遍更高。截至2024年末，大众集团营收2.5万亿元，总负债达3.4万亿元，是同期 营收的136%；丰田营收2.2万亿元，总负债达2.7万亿元，是同期营收的123% ...

SUV"Bronco Sport"和电车"Mach-E"三款车型涨价，其中最高涨幅达2000美元。此外，福特还称，此次 涨价适用于5月2日之后生产的进口车辆，价格上涨是"我们例行的年中调价加上我们面临的关税"综合作 用的结果。 福特因关税影响上调三款车型价格 最高涨幅达2000美元 智通财经5月8日电，美国政府关税政策让美国老牌汽车制造商面临冲击。据美国广播公司（ABC）等 媒体报道，福特汽车公司当地时间7日表示，将提高在墨西哥生产的三款车型价格，并称美国对进口汽 车提高关税是调价的原因之一。在福特发给媒体的声明中显示，福特对旗下皮卡"Maverick"、 ...

【环球网报道 记者 李飒】美国政府关税政策让美国老牌汽车制造商面临冲击。据美国哥伦比亚广播公 司（CBS）、美国广播公司（ABC）等美媒报道，福特汽车公司当地时间7日表示，将提高在墨西哥生 产的三款车型价格，并称美国对进口汽车提高关税是调价的原因之一。 在福特发给媒体的声明中显示，福特对旗下皮卡"Maverick"、SUV"Bronco Sport"和电车"Mach-E"三款 车型涨价，其中最高涨幅达2000美元。 路透社称，福特汽车公司也成为特朗普政府提高关税后首批调价的主要汽车制造商之一。美国政府对进 口汽车加征25%关税的措施4月3日生效，对关键汽车零部件加征25%关税的措施5月3日生效。 就在本周早些时候（5月5日），美国福特汽车公司发布2025年一季度财报，预计美国政府对进口汽车和 零部件加征关税将导致该公司2025年利润减少15亿美元。 据美国哥伦比亚广播公司4月18日报道，福特汽车公司表示，如果美国政府继续对进口到美国的汽车及 汽车零部件征收关税，该公司在美国境内销售的汽车的价格可能会在今年夏天开始上调。报道还援引分 析人士的话称，由于汽车制造商依赖高度整合的全球供应链，汽车零部件在整车组装完成 ...

The auto industry is entering rough terrain. In early April, the United States slapped a 25% tariff on imported vehicles, and just days ago, it rolled out another 25% duty on auto parts that don't comply with United States- Mexico-Canada Agreement rules. These new tariffs are set to drive up costs for automakers by tens of billions of dollars, costs that could ultimately hit consumers through higher car prices. The demand for vehicles is likely to soften, while supply chain chaos is expected to increase. As ...
