Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday will announce a reorganization under which its electric and internal-combustion engine businesses will be run separately in a move meant to allow the EV business to maximize profits and move with greater speed, three people familiar with the plan told Reuters.
The EV and ICE businesses will remain under the Ford corporate umbrella, similar to the way the company operates its Ford Pro commercial business, said the people, who asked not to be identified.
The automaker will name executives to lead each business, which will have separate names, and Ford also will outline updated profit margin targets for the company overall, the people said. The idea is for Ford to eventually report separate financial results for the EV and ICE businesses, one of the people said.
