Ford adds 850 jobs at Rouge Center

Ford Motor Co. has announced the addition of 850 new jobs at its Ford Rouge Center, which comprises the Dearborn Truck, Dearborn Stamping, and Dearborn Diversified facilities. The new jobs, which are divided among the three facilities, will support production of the 2015 F-150®.

Dearborn Truck recently replaced legacy manufacturing equipment with the latest in production technology. In addition, the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is currently undergoing a complete renovation with new films, exhibits, and hands-on experiences tied to the new vehicle.

High-strength, military-grade aluminum alloys are used throughout the F-150 body for the first time, improving dent and ding resistance and saving up to 700 lbs. of weight. With its lighter weight and its 2.7-l EcoBoost® engine, the truck’s fuel economy is projected to be from 5 to 20 percent higher than current models.
