Ford Looking To Increase Asian Manufacturing, Cut European Capacity Without Plant Closings

At a briefing in Traverse City, Michigan, Ford outlined its plans for tackling the twin challenges of Asia and Europe. Despite the capacity crisis facing the industry, Ford is aiming to avoid any European factory closures, while also expanding in Asia. Ford was vague regarding their plans for trimming capacity in Europe – so much so that they even refused to give a timeline for any changes. But the Blue Oval announced 9 new plants for the Asia/Africa region (again, nothing specific disclosed). North America won't be left out in the cold either – Automotive News is reporting that 400,000 units will be added in the U.S., with additional shifts at plants in Chicago, Kansas City, Louisville and Michigan. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
