Ford’s global management has made a commitment to assign the Almussafes factory in Valencia with the production of a passenger vehicle to maintain sufficient workload while decisions about electrification are being made. The decision was seen positively and constructively by the union, UGT, which conveyed this information to the workers after a meeting with Ford’s global president, Jim Farley. The factory, which employs close to 4,800 people, had faced uncertainty due to the lack of necessary investments for the production of electric vehicles.
The Valencian plant was chosen to produce Ford’s new electric vehicle platform, but the investments required for this have not materialized. This has caused concerns about the future of the plant. However, the commitment from global management provides hope for the Almussafes factory. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, hailed the decision as excellent news for Valencia, Spain, and Ford workers in Spain. The Valencian automotive cluster has also reacted positively to the news of the allocation of a new vehicle to the plant.
Now that a new model has been assigned to produce at Almussafes factory in Valencia , focus will be on quantifying number units to be manufactured , employment it will guarantee , investment needed and launch dates . Staff at factory will look forward clearer information in coming weeks . With commitment from Ford’s global management , future of Almussafes factory seem more secure .
