Ford moves jobs, production from Mexico to America
An article from Detroit News reports that Ford Motor Co. plans to
announce details of a manufacturing shift of medium-duty trucks from
Mexico to the United States.
Its F-650s and F-750s will be moved to the Ohio Assembly Plant, and the switch is planned to take place in early 2015.
According to the story, Mark Fields, who served as the company's
American production president, said in 2011 that moving the commercial
vehicle production in-house will streamline and strengthen the
engineering and manufacturing of the next-generation medium-duty trucks.
It was also announced in December that Ford would pour $128 million into
the Ohio Assembly Plant to support commercial truck production, to
in-source production of its F53 motor home chassis and F59 commercial
stripped chassis, Detroit News said.
