Ford to invest £125m at Halewood factory and secure 500 jobs in massive new electric vehicle push

Automotive giant Ford has revealed plans to invest a further £125m at its Halewood factory in a move that will secure 500 jobs.

The company said the site is "integral" to its European electrification plans which will see it only sell zero-emission cars from 2030 and all vehicles by 2035.

The extra funding will be put towards increasing Halewood's annual production of electric power units by 70% to 420,000.
