Ford Projects $3 Billion Loss on EV Business for 2023
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Mike Colias | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Ford Motor Co. expects to lose about $3 billion on its electric-vehicle business this year, a reminder of how far traditional auto makers have to go in turning their EV portfolios profitable. Ford disclosed the figure Thursday while outlining a new financial-reporting structure intended to give investors better insight into the performance of its three business units: Model e, its EV business; Ford Blue, the traditional part of the company that sells internal-combustion-engine vehicles; and Ford Pro, its sizable commercial-vehicle division.
Ford Motor Co. expects to lose about $3 billion on its electric-vehicle business this year, a reminder of how far traditional auto makers have to go in turning their EV portfolios profitable. Ford disclosed the figure Thursday while outlining a new financial-reporting structure intended to give investors better insight into the performance of its three business units: Model e, its EV business; Ford Blue, the traditional part of the company that sells internal-combustion-engine vehicles; and Ford Pro, its sizable commercial-vehicle division.
Ford Chief Financial Officer John Lawler rationalized the expected losses on a call with reporters by explaining that Ford Model e exists as an "EV startup within Ford." As part of this restructuring, Ford created Model e, the EV division, Ford Blue, the gas-powered vehicle division, and Ford Pro, the commercial vehicle division. For now, Ford says, its Blue and Pro divisions will be driving profits while Model e loses money. While Model e is slated to lose money this year, Ford provided profitable projections for its Blue and Pro divisions this year. For 2023, Ford Blue is expected to earn about $7 billion for the company, while Ford Pro's earnings before taxes are expected to near $6 billion, the company said Thursday.

LONDON/HONG KONG, Jan 30 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Renault (RENA.PA) and Nissan (7201.T) have helped their 24-year alliance move forward after four years of stalemate.

The voting rights of the Nissan shares transferred to the trust will be "neutralised" for most decisions, the statement said. Renault shares fell 2.7% to 37.16 euros, as of 0837 GMT. Nissan shares were largely unchanged at 453.9 yen.

PARIS— Renault SA said it would split itself into several divisions, putting its core business making conventionally powered cars into a joint venture with a Chinese partner and detailing plans for a separate stock-market listing of its electric-vehicle division. The restructuring, one of the most radical in the French auto maker’s 124-year history, will leave Renault mostly focused on electric vehicles. Executives hope the overhaul will attract investment and give it the wherewithal to tackle the expensive transition away from the internal combustion engine that the entire auto industry is grappling with.

Except it's not dying, said Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford Blue, Ford's internal combustion vehicle division. "For someone who might be nursing, I'm spending a lot of my time and investment expanding [production] capacity for all of our Ford Blue vehicles," told CNN Business. "So, to me, Ford Blue is a growth story." The new two-door Ford Mustang was able to remain all-gas-powered, Ford executives said, because the company is meeting its emissions goals with the help of electric vehicles, like the Mustang Mach-E SUV, and plug-in hybrids like the Ford Escape PHEV. (Hybrids are also included in Galhotra's Ford Blue division.)
