Ford made it big EV announcement Early this week – plan to invest $ 2 billion to change Louisville Assembly plants to the Factory that can make a new pixel truck for $ 30,000 launched to launch on 2027.
In the middle of the presentation of various executives, the courtyard, and employees, Jim Farley CEO say that I can’t shake:
“Nothing guarantees with this job. We’re doing a lot of new things, I can’t tell if you are not sure 100% sure everything will be true; it’s a bet.”
Betting? The company attached Team SkunkworksThat works several years to find a way to build electrical vehicle rows that can be taken in the United States faster, more efficient, and with some fewer parts of profit. To do that, the company has attaching the old-old system that creates a household and developing a three new processing line that uses more automated and unicasting.
Ford, like many other automakers, are unsuccessful by rates, slower than eV evacuation, and threat competitions from large China. The company needs to be acting if you want to remain relevant. But this is the move?
Completely unable to use this manufacturer technique in another manufacture, as marked about the vehicle designed and divided into three unicastings – the main spare of the method used to assert another vehicle. What does this mean, we testify $ 5 billion experiments ($ 3 billion to the Battery Factory LFP and $ 2 billion for Louisville) to keep the job in the United States.
