Ford to invest USD900 million in US plant, shift Focus production to China
New Focus plans to save USD1 billion, the automaker claims
Ford is investing USD900 million to upgrade its plant in Louisville, Kentucky (United States) to begin production of all-new Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator full-size sport utility vehicles (SUV), the company said in a press release on 20 June. The US900 million investment is on top of USD1.3 billion investment that the US automaker announced in late 2015 to build the all-new Ford Super Duty pick-ups at the plant. The latest investment by Ford will secure 1,000 jobs at the Kentucky plant. Ford employs around 7,600 full-time hourly workers at the plant.
