\nFord plans to roll 50,000 more F-150 and F-Series Super Duty trucks off the assembly line next year.<\/p>\n
\nFord plans to roll 50,000 more F-150 and F-Series Super Duty trucks off the assembly line next year.<\/p>\n
The automaker made the announcement Thursday as it tries to recover from unexpected production losses this year after a recent fire at Novelis, its major aluminum supplier. Production at some plants was temporarily halted because of the fire.<\/p>\n
The move will add 900 new jobs in Michigan and 100 in Louisville at the Kentucky Truck Plant. Ford said it will add a third crew in Michigan and additional employees at the Kentucky Truck Plant to speed up production.<\/p>\n
The goal is to produce 5,000 more trucks per year.<\/p>\n
This announcement comes weeks after Ford announced it would be expanding its Louisville operations with a $41 million land purchase near the Kentucky Truck Plant on Chamberlain Lane, near the Gene Snyder Freeway.<\/p>\n
The Michigan-based company purchased more than 65 acres of land that sits adjacent to the existing plant from Cincinnati-based Nine Five. <\/p>\n
It wasn’t immediately clear what Ford plans on doing with the land. In 2023, Ford announced a $1.95 billion investment in its two Louisville facilities as part of a deal reached with the UAW that followed a 41-day strike across several plants, including two weeks of striking at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville.
