Ford Motor Company has announced it will increase production for several of its most in-demand models at manufacturing plants across North America along with hiring additional workers. The Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, Transit, E-Transit, Bronco Sport, and Maverick are all slated to see their respective production outputs boosted. At the same time, the Blue Oval says it’s “studying ways” to increase F-150 Hybrid production, also due to high demand.
“We have had a strong start to 2023 sales and we are moving to fast-track quality production,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford Blue. “Increasing production benefits both our customers and our business.”
This production boost has already begun, starting with the Mach-E. This past week, the automaker nearly doubled the EV’s hourly production rate following changes made at the Mexican assembly plant.
