Ford had grand plans to transform its Oakville, Canada plant into a cutting-edge electric vehicle manufacturing and battery assembly hub. Those plans now seem in limbo, as the Dearborn automaker announced it will instead use the facility to assemble its F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The automaker said that boosting the production of its Super Duty trucks would add 1,800 jobs, 400 more than what would have been required to make the three-row electric SUV. Ford confirmed to InsideEVs that the three-row electric SUV, which CEO Jim Farley once described as a “personalized bullet train,” will not be made in Oakville. It's production location is to be confirmed.
