Ford to invest $11.4 billion in megasites in Tennessee, Kentucky to support electric vehicles
Ford Motor Co., with its partner SK Innovation, has announced plans to open two new massive campuses that will produce the next generation of electric F-Series trucks and the batteries to power future electric Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
The $5.6 billion campus in Stanton, Tenn., called Blue Oval City, will assemble an expanded lineup of electric F-Series vehicles and will include a BlueOvalSK battery plant, key suppliers, and recycling. This investment will create about 6,000 jobs.
In central Kentucky, the automaker plans to build the $5.8 billion BlueOvalSK Battery Park, creating 5,000 jobs. Twin battery plants on the site are intended to supply Ford’s North American assembly plants with locally assembled batteries.
