Despite the drop in EV sales, Ford's overall vehicle sales soared over 15% last month to 172,756 units, owing to the rise in sales for both hybrid and internal combustion engine vehicles. Combustion engine vehicles accounted for about 86% of the company's overall vehicle sales during the month.
儘管新能源車銷量下降，福特上個月整體車輛銷量激增超過15%，達到172,756輛，這主要歸功於混合動力車和內燃機車銷量的增長。整個月份，內燃機車佔公司整體車輛銷量的約86%。
Why It Matters: Last week, Ford said that it would halt production of the F-150 Lightning for six weeks from Nov. 18 to Jan. 6 at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant.
爲什麼重要: 上週，福特表示F-150 Lightning的生產將從11月18日至1月6日在Rouge新能源車工廠停止六週。

In August, Ford said that it is killing its plans to build a three-row electric SUV, initially slated for production in 2025. The company also postponed its plans for a new electric version of its F-150 pickup to 2027 and said it will start making a new electric commercial van in 2026.
福特在八月份表示，他們取消了計劃在2025年生產一款三排座位的新能源SUV。該公司還將其F-150皮卡的新電動版本的計劃推遲到2027年，並表示將在2026年開始製造一款新的電動商用貨車。
For the third quarter, Ford's EV segment called "Model e" reported an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) loss of $1.2 billion after cost improvements were offset by industrywide pricing pressure, taking its loss this year through the end of September to $3.7 billion. The company now expects a full-year EBIT loss of $5 billion from the segment.
在第三季度，福特的新能源車業務部門稱爲"Model e" ，在成本改善被行業範圍內的價格壓力抵消後，報告了12億美元的EBIt(利息和稅前收益)虧損，使得該部門今年截至9月底的虧損達到37億美元。 公司現在預計該部門全年EBIt虧損將達到50億美元。
Price Action: Ford shares closed up by about 1.4% on Monday at $10.36. The stock is down by about 14.8% year-to-date, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
