Barclays: the merger between Ford and Volkswagen makes sense

Making a final merger between the two companies will make a more logical sense, according to Brian Johnson, Barclays Bank's auto analyst, about a possible alliance between automakers Ford and Volkswagen. The Bloomberg news agency reported.

Johnson said that a complete merger between the two companies would bring them significant additional benefits, allowing them in part to better focus on the high-yielding sectors.

However, Johnson believes that the merger will not take place many years in advance. Ford can at least reduce its presence in the European market and the Latin American market.

Johnson stressed that Volkswagen remains the first choice in the European car market.

He added that, even though Ford was preparing with difficulty, there was still a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. And reduces the possibility of further expansion to increase the price of the action.
