Ford said the temporary reduction of a shift was due to supply-chain woes and ruled out UAW strikes as a possible cause.
Ford announced yesterday the temporary cancellation of a shift at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, citing supply chain constraints among other issues. The shift that is being cut will be rotated, the brand added. The cut will affect Ford F-150 Lightning production, and impact about 700 jobs, Reuters reported. The Detroit carmaker said the cut was unrelated to the ongoing United Auto Workers strike.
The memo reasoned that Ford was considering canceling a shift to build more gas-powered trucks instead. That’s quite shameful because the F-150 Lightning had over 200,000 reservations in May 2023. Our editors rated it highly, and it also won the 2022 InsideEVs Star Awards. “The Lightning won because it has the potential to both change the way work is done while also converting an entirely new demographic to the EV cause,” a former editor wrote.
