La Ford ha apportato delle modifiche significative ai programmi produttivi di alcuni dei suoi modelli principali

La Ford ha intenzione di introdurre una terza squadra di operai nella fabbrica del Michigan. Il nuovo turno sarà composto da 1.600 operai: quasi 900 saranno neoassunti, mentre i restanti 700 arriveranno dal Rouge Complex di Dearborn grazie a trasferimenti volontari. L'incremento dell'organico di Wayne sarà funzionale a "sostenere il futuro aumento dei volumi programmati per le linee dei veicoli prodotti nello stabilimento" e sarà completato in estate, quando la produzione passerà da sette a cinque giorni e sarà soddisfatta da tre squadre al lavoro su due turni lavorativi giornalieri. Tra l'altro, l'Ovale Blu cita un altro modello ad alimentazione tradizionale che potrebbe beneficiare di un possibile aumento delle richieste di mercato. Infatti, la Ford afferma di "avere anche la capacità disponibile per 'scalare' la produzione" dei pick-up F-150 ibridi e a benzina "in base alla domanda dei clienti". Meno elettriche. Al contempo, a Dearborn hanno deciso di ridurre i volumi dell’F-150 Lightning per "raggiungere l’equilibrio ottimale tra produzione, crescita delle vendite e redditività" e adattarli alla domanda. In pratica, le richieste della clientela non sono al momento sufficienti per sostenere gli attuali programmi produttivi e quindi è stato deciso di ridimensionare le relative attività industriali. Le scelte sono la dimostrazione - l'ennesima - che i piani dei costruttori per la mobilità elettrica hanno obiettivi sovradimensionati: lo ammette la stessa Ford, affermando di prevedere una "una crescita continua delle vendite globali di veicoli elettrici nel 2024, anche se inferiore rispetto al previsto". La decisione interessa il Rouge Electric Vehicle Center di Dearborn, dove dall'1 aprile sarà attivo un solo turno lavorativo, e circa 1.400 operai: in 700 si trasferiranno, come detto, a Wayne, mentre gli altri 700 saranno ricollocati all'interno dello stesso complesso industriale o in altri impianti nel Michigan sudorientale. In alternativa, potranno anche beneficiare del programma di incentivazione all'esodo concordato lo scorso autunno con il sindacato Uaw nel quadro del rinnovo del contratto di lavoro. La Ford, però, parla anche del possibile impatto su "poche dozzine" di dipendenti impiegati nelle fabbriche di componentistica destinata proprio alla produzione dell'F-150 Lightning; il quale, tra l'altro, sta subendo da mesi a un progressivo ridimensionamento. Per gli esuberi sono disponibili due strade: l'accesso al piano di esodo volontario, oppure la possibilità di un aiuto per il ricollocamento in altre aziende dell'area.  Read the full article

A Ford está reduzindo os volumes de produção planejados da picape elétrica F-150 Lightning pela metade no próximo ano, informou o Automotive News na segunda-feira, citando um memorando dirigido aos fornecedores. De acordo com o memorando, a Ford disse aos fornecedores que se preparassem para um volume médio de cerca de 1.600 relâmpagos por semana no Rouge Electric Vehicle Center em Dearborn, Michigan, a partir de janeiro. A Ford discutiu anteriormente um volume de 3.200 caminhões por semana e uma meta anual de 150.000 caminhões, observou o Automotive News. O memorando indicava “mudança na demanda do mercado” como o motivo. A Ford se recusou a comentar sobre este relatório. Pré-produção Ford F-150 Lightning - Rouge Electric Vehicle Center No entanto, isto pode ser uma indicação de que a Ford simplesmente atingiu o máximo para versões de alto preço de seu F-150 Lightning – já que a empresa aumentou os preços e depois os baixou apenas um pouco no verão passado. Os preços do Lightning permanecem muito mais altos do que a Ford prometeu no lançamento, há apenas 18 meses. O corte de preço no verão reduziu o preço base para US$ 51.990, mas a Ford disse originalmente que as versões mais baratas do Lightning custariam perto de US$ 40.000. É claro que poderia estimular mais interesse, reduzindo o preço. Os primeiros sinais de problemas surgiram neste verão, quando a Ford reduziu suas metas de produção de veículos elétricos para 2023, apontando para o custo. Nos últimos meses, a Ford interrompeu (e depois retomou em menor escala) sua fábrica de baterias LFP em Michigan, considerada a chave para veículos elétricos acessíveis. Isso atrasou uma das duas fábricas de baterias de Kentucky que deveriam fornecer veículos elétricos de próxima geração. Pré-produção Ford F-150 Lightning - Rouge Electric Vehicle Center O CEO Jim Farley sugeriu no ano passado que previa uma guerra de preços de EV e uma consolidação da indústria. E no início deste ano ele sugeriu que a paridade de preços dos VE com os veículos a gasolina poderia não chegar até 2030. Além da incerteza em torno dos custos de fabricação e preços dos veículos, bem como de outros caminhões elétricos como o Rivian R1T e até mesmo o Tesla Cybertruck roubando um pouco dos holofotes, o entusiasmo da Ford sobre a substituição do F-150 Lightning também pode ser um fator. Farley provocou a próxima picape elétrica 2025 da empresa – que, ao contrário do Lightning, será baseada em uma plataforma EV dedicada – como o “Millennium Falcon dos caminhões”.
