Ford releases its 2018-2019 plan relating to its vehicle production
- On the occasion of the 2017 Las Vegas CES and the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, the Ford group announced:
• A plan of development of 13 electrified vehicles (HEV / PHEV / BEV) and autonomous vehicles, of which 7 models will be produced in the next 5 years. These models will include F-150 (HEV) pickups, Mustang (HEV), Transit Custom (PHEV), and an SUV (BEV).
• The cancellation of the construction of the plant in San Luis Potosi (Mexico).
• The expansion of the Flat Rock, Michigan plant to produce hybrid and electric vehicles.
• The transfer of the Ford Focus from the Wayne, Michigan plant to the Hermosillo plant in Mexico.
• The arrival of the future Ford Ranger and Bronco in the plant in Wayne, Michigan, replacing the Ford Focus.
- This plan would result in:
• The transfer of the next generation of Focus (150,000 units per year) from the Wayne site to the Hermosillo plant, where the Ford Fusion is currently produced.
• A partial transfer of the production of the Ford Fusion (150,000 units per year) in 2018 from the Hermosillo site to Flat Rock, Michigan, which currently produces the Ford Mustang and the Lincoln Continental. This site should therefore specialize in the production of electrified and autonomous vehicles.
• The production of the future Ranger and Bronco (150,000 units per year) in Wayne plant in 2019, just after the transfer of the new generation of Focus to the Hermosillo plant.
