Louisville Assembly Plant is about to make history. This 3-million-square-foot facility is being completely transformed to build our new midsize electric truck, the Ford Fathom. Crews are installing our new Universal EV Production System, reinventing how we build vehicles from the ground up using the expertise of our team at Ford Motor Company to deliver. We're on track to begin Fathom prototype builds with production qualified parts in Q1 2027. Speed, scale, and manufacturing know-how, that's Ford at its best. See the progress here:

We’ve built nearly 18M vehicles at our assembly plant in Cologne since 1931. Today it officially re-opens as the Ford Cologne Electric Vehicle Center, our first carbon neutral assembly plant worldwide. The start of a new electric era for Ford Motor Company in Europe. #CologneEVCenter

NEWS: Ford has officially unveiled its new electric vehicle platform and its next-generation vehicle production system. Ford Universal EV Platform Details: • Reduces parts by 20% versus a typical vehicle, with 25% fewer fasteners, 40% fewer workstations dock-to-dock in the plant and 15% faster assembly time. • Ford says "Lower cost of ownership over five years than a three-year-old used Tesla Model Y." • Wiring harness in the new midsize truck; more than 4,000 feet (1.3 kilometers) shorter and 10 kilograms lighter than the one used in our first-gen electric SUV • Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic batteries enable space and weight and cost savings. It's a structural sub-assembly that also serves as the vehicle’s floor • The new midsize truck is forecasted to have more passenger room than the latest Toyota RAV4, even before you include the frunk and the truck bed. You can lock your surfboards or other gear in that bed – no roof rack or trailer hitch racks required • The new midsize truck will have a targeted 0-60 time as fast as a Mustang EcoBoost, with more downforce. Ford Universal EV Production System Details: • Transforming the traditional assembly line into an “assembly tree”. Instead of one long conveyor, three sub-assemblies run down their own lines simultaneously and then join together • Large single-piece aluminum unicastings replace dozens of smaller parts, enabling the front and rear of the vehicle to be assembled separately. • The front and rear are then combined with the third sub-assembly, the structural battery, which is independently assembled with seats, consoles and carpeting, to form the vehicle. • Parts travel down the assembly tree to operators in a kit. Within that kit, all fasteners, scanners and power tools required for the job are included. • Assembly of the new midsize electric truck could be up to 40% faster than Louisville Assembly Plant’s current vehicles. Some of that time will be reinvested into insourcing and automation to improve quality and cost, ultimately netting a 15% speed improvement. Ford: "A simple, efficient, flexible ecosystem to deliver a family of affordable, electric, software-defined vehicles – the first of which is a midsize, four-door electric pickup that will be assembled at Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant for U.S. and export markets. Its launch is scheduled for 2027. It will have a target starting MSRP at about $30,000 USD." Ford says it is going to deliver a family of affordable, adaptable electric vehicles that offer multiple body styles for work and play — including for export — and whose LFP batteries will be assembled in America, not imported from China. Additional specifications for the midsize electric truck – including reveal date, starting price, EPA-estimated battery range, battery sizes and charge times – will be communicated later. Ford’s $2B investment in their Louisville Assembly Plant is in addition to its previously announced $3 billion investment in BlueOval Battery Park Michigan, which will build the prismatic LFP batteries for the midsize electric truck starting next year. Together, the investments total approximately $5 billion, and between the two plants, Ford expects to create or secure nearly 4,000 direct jobs.

BREAKING: Here is the new Ford Universal EV Platform, explained by the skunkworks team. Essentially they are going for an unboxed manufacturing process, gigacasting (they call it unicasting), LFP batteries which will be integrated as the vehicle floor.

Electric Vehicle Mandate removed "So to add flexibility to the automotive sector, we will remove the 2026 electric vehicle availability Standard, which specifies the share of new vehicle sales that must be electric next year." "The government will begin immediately a 60 day review of the EV standard to identify future flexibilities and ways to reduce cost and will advance new options to bring more and more affordable electric vehicles to Canadians." Mark Carney
