How are US tariffs affecting European carmakers, according to recent FT reporting?
Financial TimesTariffs are one of three pressures the FT keeps naming, alongside Chinese competition and a weak Chinese market. Volvo Cars issued a profit warning and pulled its annual guidance on 2 October, after third-quarter deliveries fell 11% year on year and the US recovered more slowly than expected 1. BMW is cutting more than 100 managers to speed up cost savings and expects an operating margin of only 3% to 5% in 2028 2. Volkswagen cut its margin guidance for this year to 1%, from 4% to 5.5%, and warned of a hit of up to EUR10bn 3, on top of a restructuring that will cut 50,000 jobs 4. BMW is partly shielded because it builds a larger share of its US and Chinese sales locally 5, and carmakers including VW, Stellantis and Toyota are investing more in the US to offset weaker markets elsewhere 6.
