Ford will expand Super Duty truck production in Canada's Oakville Assembly plant, delaying electric vehicle plans. $3 billion total investment across three North American plants. 1,800 Canadian jobs will be added.
Ford's shift away from electric vehicles towards gas-powered Super Duty trucks highlights its reliance on profits from F-Series pickups.
The Oakville plant was initially slated for an EV transformation but will now focus on Super Duty trucks. Ford's pivot is a substantial endorsement of gas-powered vehicles.
CEO Jim Farley had previously positioned Ford towards electric vehicles, but this recent move signifies a significant pivot back towards conventional gas-powered trucks.
