Ford Motor will no longer build the vehicles of the future at a Canadian plant originally planned for new electric cars. The company will build larger vehicles, especially the gasoline ones that have many fans today, the F-Series pickup trucks. This change is following Ford having rescheduled from planned three-row electric SUVs at Oakville Assembly plant from 2025 to 2027 on account of lower than expected growth in the demand of electric vehicles. After the merger, the automaker stood firm on the kind of EVs it will continue to develop and the timeline but remained mum on where they will be assembled.
Located in Oakville, Ford Motor plans to increase the production of 100,000 F-Series Super Duty trucks ranging from future multi-energy technology as the company was located in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Motor stated its strategic intention to expand the Oakville facility in due regards to the rising demand of Super Duty line up as claimed by the Chairman and chief executive officer of the Ford, Jim Farley, for being vital tools for business people and the entire.

While demand for EVs has slowed down globally, major players like Tesla and new entrant, BYD, have started cutting prices to boost the market share and accelerate sales which forced traditional auto majors like Ford and GM to reconsider over-ambitious EV targets. Ford, which was recording a sale of almost USD 4.8 billion in losses from the EV segment in 2023 and up to USD 5.5 billion this year, have said they will only bring out the next generation of EVs when they are making money.
In line with this approach, Ford has been shifting its focus to hybrids as there are still people who feel that they have not yet fully embraced full electrification. The Ford Motor Company plans on increasing the hybrid manufacturing fourfold in the near future as well as the firm’s cash cow, the F-150 heavy-duty truck that is manufactured in Kentucky, Ohio, and more at Oakville facility with USD 3 billion investment.
The advanced heavy production schedule of Super Duty at Oakville will guarantee about 1,800 employees at the onset with more anticipated in engine and component plants. Canadian ‘Automotive workers’ Union’, Unifor also voiced relief over the accelerated retooling plan ahead of Ford Motor Co.
