Ford is implementing a reduced work regime in the western German city of Cologne due to weak demand for electric cars.

The company will apply for short-time work, a government furlough scheme, whereby workers are sent home by a company in financial distress, but do not lose their jobs.

Ford is struggling with weak sales in Germany and Europe .

Consumer reluctance to switch to electric cars and end of government incentives in Germany are proving challenging for carmakers.
