JAKARTA - Ford has ambitions to produce up to 500 thousand units of electric trucks per year at the BlueOval City complex plant under construction in Tennessee, United States.
As reported by Reuters, Friday, March 24, BlueOval City will be prepared to assemble some of Ford's electric pickups, such as the following generation of F-Series models carried out by Project T3 companies.
The Ford pickup will be developed with the latest EV truck platform. Ford says that the new platform, namely TE1, will also support other electric SUVs by 2026 that could replace Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator.
As is known, BlueOval City will be the largest and most advanced automotive production complex in Ford's 119-year history. The project has an investment value of US 5.6 billion announced in September 2021, and includes a new vehicle factory and a lithium-ion battery cell gigafactory plant (43 GWh per year), which is a joint venture with SK Innovation's SK On.
Ford CEO Jim Farley said production will begin in about 30 months, or in the fall of 2025. And the plant is capable of producing 500 thousand units of electric trucks per year.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Friday, March 26, Farley also put pressure on Tesla by making BlueCruise Ford technology proud. He also said Ford's next electric truck to debut in 2025 was a "throughcome product".
"On the highway on a sunny day, you can sleep in your truck or call or do whatever you want to do when the truck is driving for you," Farley said.
