同样在欧洲市场，福特曾经也是风光无限。有报道称，上世纪90年代，福特在欧洲乘用车市场的占 有率超过10%，旗下的多款车型深受消费者喜爱，大街小巷都不难找到福特汽车的身影。 然而，随着全球汽车市场竞争的加剧，福特在欧洲市场逐渐面临考验，尤其是在欧洲的电动化转型 之路充满挑战。为了实现电动化转型，近年来，福特投资20亿美元对德国科隆工厂进行改造，期望将其 打造成电动化生产的核心基地，以支撑在欧洲的电动车业务发展。但现实却不尽如人意，欧洲电动汽车 市场需求疲软，政府支持力度不足，再加上欧洲高昂的劳动力与能源成本，使得福特的计划出现阻力。 近日还有报道称，因为欧洲电动汽车需求放缓以及中国汽车厂商的竞争加剧，福特计划未来三年 内，在欧洲裁员近4000人，约占其在地区员工总数的14%。福特表示，裁员将会在2027年底前完成，裁 员方案等待与工会协商，裁员将集中在德国和英国两个国家。福特在一份声明中称，全球汽车行业继续 处于颠覆时期，尤其是在欧洲，该行业面临着前所未有的竞争、监管以及经济逆风。 在汽车产业变革浪潮冲击下，跨国巨头们也坐不住了。 近日，据外媒报道，福特与雷诺在欧洲市场达成合作，旨在拓宽电动化产品推进欧洲电动化 ...
