of time off. As some Europeans I knew were fond of saying, they work to live, they don’t live to work. European factory workers at the Cologne Ford factory in Germany are enjoying a nice lengthy summer vacation , but work is actually not stopping at the site. Instead, construction and remodeling teams are transforming the factory in order to ready it for production of a new electric model.
In the body shop, as well as in the other production areas, the Fiesta production is being redesigned in order to generate free space for the new facilities. . At the time of that announcement, Ford indicated it would spend $1 billion on the new Cologne Electrification Center. This more recent announcement puts the figure at €2 billion . Another thing announced alongside the February 2021 press release was that Ford would produce its first electric model from this Cologne Electrification Center in 2023. That does seem to line up well with Ford’s current plans.
Go on Ford with your bad self, spring for better jounce brackets while your at it! 😂
