Ford cuts 3,800 jobs in Germany and Britain in electric vehicle switch

 Ford is shifting its model lineup in Europe to battery-only by 2035.

Ford will dismiss some 11% of its workforce in Europe in the latest sign of industrial disruption caused by the automotive sector’s shift to electric vehicles.

Of the total 3,800 jobs to go, workers in Germany and in Britain will be hardest-hit with about 2,300 and 1,300 positions to be eliminated respectively over the next three years, Ford has said.
