Ford is halting production of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck. Until further notice, the company will focus on the F-150 with a combustion engine.

The reason for this is delivery problems with aluminium caused by a fire at the factory of key supplier Novelis.

It is currently unclear whether production of the Lightning will resume at all.

The combustion engine division ‘Ford Blue’ showed decent growth, while the EV division ‘Model e’ posted a loss of $1.4 billion, or approximately €1.2 billion, for the third quarter, which was $200 million more than in the same period last year. From January to September, the electric division’s loss amounted to $3.6 billion.
