Sign InFord Motor Company has confirmed the departure of Doug Field, its top EV executive, as part of a reorganization that merges electric vehicle and manufacturing operations. Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra will assume Field's duties, overseeing a new 'end-to-end' product creation and industrialization organization. Analysts at UBS noted that this internal restructuring could lead to improved operational efficiency, though concerns remain regarding leadership continuity in the EV sector. Field, a veteran of Apple and Tesla, leaves as Ford grapples with significant financial losses within its electric division. Despite the shift, Ford reaffirmed its commitment to the 'skunkworks' project aimed at developing affordable EVs to counter Chinese competition. Investors are now monitoring how the consolidation under Galhotra will balance fiscal performance with innovation.
