福特汽车(F.N) CEO：稀土磁铁供应仍然紧张。 ...

据外媒报道，韩国电池材料制造商EcoPro BM宣布，将于6月初暂停其在加拿大魁北克省贝坎库尔市投资12亿加元（折合人民币约63亿元） 的电池材料工厂建设项目。 EcoPro BM在一项声明中指出：" 电动汽车和电池行业仍面临诸多不确定性，加之美国关税政策带来的挑战，这些因素均严重影响了公司关 键决策进程。 " 点击阅读原文，即可报名参会！ 短时间内的两次停工是一种征兆。同年11月，既是投资方，也是工厂潜在客户的福特撤资了，该工厂的不确定性进一步增加。 事实上，一切早有迹象。在该工厂第一次停工的4月，福特已经将其加拿大奥克维尔（Oakville）装配厂计划推出的电动SUV的投产时间从 2025年推迟到了2027年，理由是市场对电动汽车的需求增长速度低于预期。 7月，福特再度宣布，该公司原本计划用来生产电动汽车的加拿大工厂将转而生产其旗舰车型F系列皮卡的汽油动力版本。 政治经济环境的不断变化，以及大股东的退出，让这个工厂的命运堪忧。然而，EcoPro BM当时仍对该工厂的潜力以及电动汽车行业的未来 充满信心，并承诺继续推进该工厂的建设。 （ 来源：储能前沿） 往 期 回 顾 | 01 | ｜ | 锚定全球能源变 ...

Core Viewpoint - Multiple automotive companies are facing a "panic" due to a shortage of rare earth materials, which are critical for automotive production, particularly in electric vehicles [1][2][4]. Group 1: Impact on Automotive Production - Suzuki has temporarily halted operations on some production lines in Japan due to delays in receiving rare earth component shipments from China, affecting automotive electronic systems and engine parts [1]. - The Indian automotive industry is at risk, with major manufacturers like Tata, Maruti Suzuki, and Mahindra having only three days' worth of rare earth magnet inventory left, potentially leading to widespread production halts [2]. - Ford has also paused production of its Explorer SUV due to similar rare earth shortages [2]. Group 2: Export Control Measures - The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced export control measures on seven types of rare earth materials, effective from April 4, which has led to significant delays in obtaining export licenses for these materials [1][3]. - Only 25% of the rare earth export license applications submitted by European component manufacturers have been approved since April, causing production delays and temporary shutdowns in some European automotive companies [2]. Group 3: Importance of Rare Earth Elements - Rare earth elements play a crucial role in automotive manufacturing, especially in electric vehicles, where materials like neodymium-iron-boron significantly enhance power density, acceleration, and range [4][5]. - Each pure electric vehicle consumes 5 to 10 kg of neodymium-iron-boron, while plug-in hybrid vehicles consume 2 to 3 kg [4]. Group 4: Supply Chain Adjustments - In response to the rare earth crisis, multinational automotive companies may consider adjusting their supply chains to produce rare earth-related components in China to leverage local supply chain advantages [6]. - Companies like Tesla, Ford, and Toyota are accelerating the development of technologies to reduce reliance on rare earth magnets, with Toyota working on "rare earth-free motors" [6]. Group 5: Strategic Cooperation and Inventory Management - Experts suggest that multinational companies should maintain strategic cooperation with China rather than rush to restructure supply chains, which could incur higher costs [7]. - Increasing inventory and optimizing supply chain management for raw materials are recommended strategies to mitigate the impact of such crises [7].
