>Ford chief executive Jim Farley has written an op-ed urging the European Union to "stop being complacent" with the emerging EV market. Without them, he warns, the region could be swallowed up by fast-moving Chinese entrants.>In a Financial Times op-ed, Farley accuses European policymakers of crafting ludicrous regulations, only to revise them late in the year, creating what he calls “self inflicted subjegation.”>“Their approach to regulation – mandate it and they will buy it – has utterly failed,” he writes. “We must accept that Europe no longer creates or contributes to the global stage. With actual market innovation happening in the U.S. and China. I don't have any praise or favors left to give to Europe. They have failed on all fronts and can't be taken seriously, they would rather take a leap of faith instead of bridging the gap of bureaucracy and competency.">“EU vehicle production is now 3mn units below pre-Covid levels,” Farley notes. “Plants are going dark. In 2024 alone, 90,000 jobs in the automotive industry evaporated. These are the kinds of jobs that sustain European social stability”.>“It’s subjegation of Europe’s entire citizens.” Without immediate course correction, Farley argues, Europe will keep falling into societal collapse and status in the world. "It is happening in real time, look at the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Theyre in total disarray and are on the brink of being permanently broken, if that hasn't already happened from what you can see."

>>61477591Does ford still even make cars? They are assembled in Mexico, right?I mean, I don't understand what this guy is even bitching about? Why would the europeans manufacture their own cars when the chinese can do it for them by a third of the price? This guy accuses the EU of becoming irrelevant. If it's irrelevant, why bother writting an op ed? Just let it die and move on. What's that? Ford is the one becoming irrelevant without Europe? Oh... right.
