Ford Seeks Clarity on Brexit to Frame UK Investment Plans
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ford Motor Company (F - Free Report) stated that it needs clarification on the trading conditions in the aftermath of Brexit, per Reuters. Ample clarification on all aspects of trade is required to make any concrete investment decision in Britain. Significantly, Britain is Europe's second-largest automotive market. Following a referendum in 2016, the country is scheduled to leave European Union (EU) by the end of March 2019.
Ford is a leading producer of automotive engines in Britain. Presently, the company has its engine manufacturing hubs at Bridgend in Wales and Dagenham, London. The combined output of the two factories is 2.7 million units, which is almost half of the country’s total engine production.
The company intends to carry on with its engine production at its Bridgend factory. Per management, depending on the clarity regarding future trading conditions after Brexit, it will be able to take positive or negative decisions about its investment plans in the country.
Further, the company assumes that Brexit might impose custom checks and tariffs between Britain and EU. This may result in supply chain problems and elevated costs. Also, it expects that a hard Brexit will lead to World Trade Organization (WTO) tariffs of 10% in exports and imports.
