Ford said today it is planning to nearly double production of the F-150 Lightning\u00a0pickup at the plant in Dearborn (Michigan) to 150,000 trucks per year to meet high demand for the first all-electric version of the F-Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith nearly 200,000 reservations, our teams are working hard and creatively to break production constraints to get more F-150 Lightning trucks into the hands of our customers,\u201d said Kumar Galhotra, president of The Americas & International Markets Group, Ford Motor Company. \u201cThe reality is clear: People are ready for an all-electric F-150 and Ford is pulling out all the stops to scale our operations and increase production capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ford is investing more than $30 billion in electric vehicles through 2025. Over the next two years, Ford aims to emerge as the clear No. 2 electric vehicle maker in North America and then challenge the No. 1 spot as investments in battery and electric vehicle manufacturing come onstream. Within 24 months, Ford will have the global capacity to produce 600,000 battery electric vehicles annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to scaling Lightning production, Ford recently announced the tripling of production for the Mustang Mach-E and expects to reach 200,000-plus units per year by 2023. Ford\u2019s all-electric van, the 2022 E-Transit, goes on sale early this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
