Huge car manufacturer to cut 800 jobs in UK in massive overhaul – blaming ‘lower-than-expected’ demand for EVs
FORD has announced that it will axe hundreds of jobs from its UK sites as part of massive cuts to its European output.
Bosses blamed the “lower than expected demand” for electric cars as they scramble to meet the Government’s legally-binding targets.
The firm had already hinted that it would have to slow down production of petrol and diesel models to meet the controversial zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) Mandate.
The Mandate requires that a certain proportion of all manufacturers’ output is zero-emission (usually meaning EVs) each year.
For 2024, the requirement is 22%, rising to 80% by 2030.
That’s ahead of a total ban on the sales of new petrol and diesel cars that same year (although hybrids will be exempt until 2035).
Carmakers can be fined £15,000 for each car that they produce above that limit, which could run into the millions.
Martin Sander, Ford Europe’s EV chief, warned as early as May that the company was struggling to keep pace with the requirement.
He suggested that the firm would make fewer internal combustion models for the UK market, but it now appears that the financial pressure is also motivating it to cut down the workforce here.
The “restructuring” will see a total of 4,000 jobs lost across its UK and EU operations.
Around 800 of these will be in the UK, though Ford would not confirm which of its sites would be affected.
Germany, where Ford made the soon-to-be-discontinued Focus, is also expected to see sizeable cuts.
Dave Johnston, Ford’s European vice president for transformation and partnerships, said: “We are proud of our new product portfolio for Europe and committed to building a thriving business in Europe for generations to come.
“It is critical to take difficult but decisive action to ensure Ford’s future competitiveness in Europe.”

Shane MacGowan is irreplaceable & his spirit lives on, says Pogues icon before special first album gig with guest stars
THE Pogues have paid tribute to Shane MacGowan and said the late singer lives on through guest performers singing his tunes.
The trad heroes will tour their legendary album Rum, Sodomy & The Lash for its 40th anniversary next year, featuring a number of stars filling in for Shane.
The Tipperary rocker passed away last year after a brave battle with ill health aged 65, but his former bandmates believe his spirit is irreplaceable.
The Pogues recently toured for the anniversary of their debut album Red Roses For Me with a series of UK shows earlier this year, and play the 3Arena in Dublin next month.
Banjo player Jem Finer admitted MacGowan was “irreplaceable” but said his essence had been “flowing through” guest singers in recent concerts.
Speaking about his influence on their return, the 69-year-old, who co-wrote the band’s Christmas number two Fairytale Of New York, revealed: “A lot of the music he wrote, and most of it he sang, even if he didn’t write it.
“He’s an irreplaceable person, but somehow his spirit lives on in these people, in working with these other singers, it’s kind of like flowing through them, so he’s very much there, very celebratory and beautifully respectful.
“It’s a spiritual thing without being contrived at all, which if it hadn’t worked like that, we wouldn’t be doing this amazing thing that blossomed into one concert and another and has led to that uncontrivable thing.”
One final performance of the first record is planned for Dublin next month with the help of guests including Fontaines DC’s Grian Chatten and singer Nadine Shah, before the band prepare to take on the second album.
Speaking about reuniting for the special gigs, vocalist and tin whistle player Spider Stacy said their reunion was only ever meant to be a short-term thing.
The 65-year-old said special guests for next year’s shows were yet to be decided and explained that they “suggest themselves almost”.
Stacy continued: “It was only ever meant to be a little thing (but) became something much, much bigger than it was intended to be.
“Well, it started when, back in May, we did a show at Hackney Empire in London, 40 years of Red Roses For Me, and it very quickly became apparent that we were going to have to do something to mark 40 years of Rum Sodomy & The Lash, because the Hackney show was so popular and went so well, and hopefully the Dublin show is going to be the same.
“Rum Sodomy & the Lash was kind of always on the cards, this was always going to happen.”
Rum Sodomy & the Lash is one of the Celtic punk band’s most critically acclaimed albums, and features some of the group’s best-known songs such as Dirty Old Town, A Pair Of Brown Eyes and Sally MacLennane.
COVER SYMBOLISM
The album is known for its striking cover, which features the Theodore Gericault painting The Raft of the Medusa, altered to include band members’ faces.
Jem Finer said the painting’s use was the idea of his wife Marcia, who is an art historian and artist, and thought it was “in keeping with The Pogues and the kind of things we sing about”.
When asked how the band look back on the album and its recording, accordion player James Fearnley said: “We look back on it fondly, it was nice to do Red Roses For Me, and then go back to the same studio and do Rum Sodomy & The Lash, and then to find somebody like Elvis Costello in the room to work with.
“It was really exciting to have something familiar in the studio itself, and then for Elvis to be working with us too.
“And then with this bunch of songs, which we’d obviously been rehearsing, we were talking earlier about A Pair Of Brown Eyes, for instance, The Old Main Drag was a great song that had gone back to my first few days rehearsing and getting to know Shane’s songs.”
NEW TOUR
The gigs for their UK and Ireland tour, which will also see the band play the Poguetry in Motion EP that followed the album and features A Rainy Night In Soho, will begin in Leeds on May 1 and finish in Newcastle on May 8.
Tickets for the concerts will go on sale on Friday at 9.30am from Ticketmaster and Gigs and Tours.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
