Ford Announces Plan to Raise Prices

[In It to Win It]

It's a trying time for businesses around the world as they try to navigate sales and production amid the U.S.'s newly-announced tariffs. Ford Motor Co. is no exception, and in a new memo to dealers, they're starting to reveal their plans to forge ahead with the new tariffs in place.

Of course, the tariffs are impacting the supply chain, and that impacts the number of cars getting made each month. In a memo sent out on April 15, Andrew Frick, president of Ford's gas-fueled and electric car units, said the company is planning to raise prices on cars coming off assembly lines in May if tariff relief doesn't come for automakers.

Without a marked change in U.S. tariff policies, "we anticipate the need to make vehicle pricing adjustments in the future, which is expected to happen with May production," Frick said in the memo, as first reported by Automotive News.

It's not happening yet, tough. The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker is currently offering discounts across its lineup through June 2.
