Car manufacturer Ford introduced short-term employment in Cologne in light of weak demand for electric cars. “Such lower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles, particularly in Germany, requires temporary adjustments to production volumes at the Cologne Electric Vehicle Center,” a Ford spokesperson said. The company will apply to the Federal Employment Agency for short-term work due to rapidly deteriorating electric vehicle market conditions. “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” (Wednesday) previously reported earlier. According to the automaker, short-term work is requested for a total of three weeks.
