A few years ago, Ford Motor jumped out ahead of other established automakers by quickly rolling out three electric vehicles that it hoped would help it sell more cars and increase profits.

几年前， 福特汽车公司迅速推出了三款电动汽车，希望借此增加汽车销量并提高利润，从而领先于其他老牌汽车制造商。

Instead, the company is paying a high price for its early start.

然而，该公司正为其率先起步付出高昂代价。

On Tuesday, Ford said its electric vehicle division lost $4.8 billion in 2025 and was expected to lose $4 billion to $4.5 billion in 2026. The company also said the division would continue losing money for at least two more years.

周二，福特表示其电动汽车部门在2025年亏损48亿美元，并预计在2026年将亏损40亿至45亿美元。 该公司还表示，该部门至少还将继续亏损两年。

"We are now targeting break-even around 2029," Ford's chief financial officer, Sherry House, said on Tuesday during a conference call to discuss the company's financial results.

“我们现在的目标是到2029年左右实现盈亏平衡，”福特首席财务官谢里·豪斯 在周二讨论公司财务业绩的电话会议上表示。

Including the loss in 2025, Ford has lost more than $16 billion on its electric vehicle business since 2022.

计入2025年的亏损，自2022年以来，福特电动汽车业务累计亏损已超过160亿美元。

In December, Ford announced that it was scaling back its electric vehicle plans. It stopped making one model, the F-150 Lightning pickup truck; scrapped plans to produce an electric truck at a plant it was building in Tennessee; and canceled plans for an electric commercial van.

去年12月，福特宣布缩减其电动汽车计划。 它停止生产一款车型F-150 Lightning皮卡； 取消了在田纳西州正在建设的工厂生产电动卡车的计划；并放弃了一款电动商用厢式货车的生产计划。

Instead, Ford plans to make a version of the Lightning that includes a gasoline engine that can recharge the truck's batteries on the go. The company will use the Tennessee factory to make a gasoline-powered truck, and will make hybrid and gas-powered delivery vans at a location in Ohio.

相反，福特计划推出一款配备汽油发动机的Lightning版本，该发动机可以在行驶途中为卡车的电池充电。 该公司将利用田纳西州工厂生产一款汽油动力卡车，并将在俄亥俄州的一个工厂生产混合动力和汽油动力的送货厢式货车。

Ford says it still plans to make a medium-size pickup that is supposed to sell for around $30,000. That truck, expected in 2027, will use new components and production methods that Ford has said will cost a lot less.

福特表示，它仍计划生产一款中型皮卡，预计售价约为3万美元。 这款预计于2027年推出的卡车将采用新的部件和生产方法，福特称这将大幅降低成本。

It also ended a partnership with a South Korean partner, SK On, that was supposed to jointly produce batteries. Ford has taken full ownership of a factory in Kentucky, and SK On now solely owns a plant in Tennessee.

该公司还终止了与韩国合作伙伴SK On原本计划共同生产电池的合作关系。 福特已完全拥有肯塔基州的一家工厂，而SK On现在独占了田纳西州的一家工厂。

Ford took charges of $19.5 billion against its fourth-quarter earnings to cover the cost of changing its strategy.

福特在其第四季度收益中计提了195亿美元的费用，以支付其战略调整的成本。

Overall, Ford lost $11.1 billion in the fourth quarter and $8.2 billion for all of 2025. The electric vehicle losses were offset by substantial profits in divisions that make internal-combustion vehicles and sell vehicles and services to commercial customers.

总体而言，福特第四季度亏损111亿美元，2025年全年亏损82亿美元。 电动汽车部门的亏损被生产内燃机汽车以及向商业客户销售车辆和服务的部门所获得的可观利润所抵消。

Ford said it expected its financial performance to improve significantly in 2026. The company said this year's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and other items were expected to be $8 billion to $10 billion. In 2025, Ford said its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and other items were $6.8 billion.

福特表示，预计其2026年财务业绩将显著改善。 该公司表示，今年调整后的息税前及其他项目收益预计为80亿至100亿美元。 2025年，福特称其调整后的息税前及其他项目收益为68亿美元。
