ord plans electric vehicle production at Flat Rock, adding 900 jobs
Ford plans to begin producing all-electric cars at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant south of Detroit, the company said Wednesday, adding about 900 jobs there over the next four years.
The Dearborn-based carmaker has said it will spend $11.1 billion on global electric vehicles and will build an all-electric performance SUV starting in 2020 at its Cuautitlan, Mexico, plant. Flat Rock will build vehicles from the company’s next-generation battery electric flexible architecture. The company did not say what those vehicles will be.
"Wouldn't you like to know," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of global operations, in an interview with the Free Press. "It will be a next generation battery electric vehicle."
