The move, which will add about 700 jobs in Michigan, came the same day the automaker said it was cancelling plans to build a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>During the presidential campaign, President-Elect Donald Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, threatened Ford and other automakers with huge tariffs to bring Mexican-made vehicles into the United States. He also called Ford out for planning to move production of its Focus to a new plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. While Ford decided not to go ahead with building the San Luis Potosi plant, it plans to shift production to an existing Hermosillo, Mexico, factory. Those vehicles will reportedly be shipped overseas where the demand for compact cars is greater than in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The automaker said it will electrify some of its most popular commercial vehicles, trucks, SUVs and performance vehicles, including the iconic Mustang that will be built as a hybrid at the Flat Rock plant. A hybrid version of the popular F-150 pickup truck will be built at the Ford Dearborn Truck Plant in Dearborn, Mich. Flat Rock will also build a fully electric small SUV that can drive at least 300 miles before recharging and a high-volume autonomous vehicle designed for commercial ride hailing or sharing. In other good news for Michigan, 3,500 jobs will be retained at the Wayne, Mich., assembly plant that currently manufactures Focus as they work on two other products\u2014the Ford Ranger pickup and Bronco SUV, according to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/business\/autos\/ford\/2017\/01\/03\/ford-fields\/96102986\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Detroit News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company is planning to spend $700 million to expand its Flat Rock plant as part of an overall $4.5 billion investment on electrified vehicles over the next four years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1068,"featured_media":1004163691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1495,21748,21783,13,21742],"tags":[33403,32789,32763,33350],"class_list":["post-1004163684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit","category-industrial","category-investment","category-midwest","category-latest","tag-ashley-capital","tag-cbre","tag-colliers-international","tag-ford-motor-company"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
