Core Viewpoint - The global automotive industry is undergoing a significant strategic adjustment as major companies, including Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors, scale back their electric vehicle (EV) initiatives due to overestimating the pace of energy transition and changing market demands [3][10]. Group 1: Stellantis' Actions - Stellantis announced a major reduction in its EV business, resulting in a write-down of €22.2 billion (approximately ¥182 billion), leading to a stock price drop of over 20% in both France and the U.S. markets [5][6]. - The company plans to suspend dividend payments for 2026 and aims to raise up to €5 billion through hybrid bond issuance to maintain financial stability [6]. - Stellantis is systematically cutting back on its EV operations, including exiting a battery joint venture in Canada and halting production of the RAM 1500 electric pickup truck in the U.S. [6][12]. Group 2: Industry-Wide Adjustments - Ford and General Motors have also made significant adjustments, with Ford announcing an asset write-down of approximately $19.5 billion (around ¥187.9 billion) due to a shift in focus away from EV investments [6][7]. - General Motors reported a $7.1 billion impairment loss in Q4 2025, primarily related to its reduced EV plans, accumulating a total loss of about $7.6 billion for the year [7][8]. - The combined losses from Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors due to EV business reductions amount to approximately ¥369.9 billion [8]. Group 3: Market and Policy Influences - The automotive industry's shift is influenced by a dramatic change in the EV policy environment in Europe and the U.S., with the Biden administration's support for EVs reversing under the Trump administration, leading to reduced market demand [10][11]. - In Q4 2025, U.S. EV sales saw significant declines, with General Motors' sales down 43% year-on-year and Ford's down 52% [11]. - The European Union has also adjusted its policies, abandoning the planned ban on internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035, allowing for a more technology-neutral approach to emissions standards [11][12]. Group 4: Future Directions - Stellantis is shifting its focus to larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs, planning to invest $13 billion over the next four years and create 5,000 new jobs to better align with U.S. market demands [13][16]. - Ford is redirecting its investment towards hybrid vehicles and smaller, more affordable electric models, while also scaling back on its next-generation electric truck projects [13][16]. - Analysts predict that the automotive industry will continue to see significant write-downs in the coming years as companies navigate these transitions [14].
