00:00Welcome to the new video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:04Today, we're talking about nothing less than a real milestone in the world of electromobility.
00:10The new battery plant Blue of All Battery Park, Michigan, which is wholly owned by Ford and is set to form the basis for the next generation of electric vehicles.
00:21What's special about it is that for the first time, an American car manufacturer is producing LFP battery cells and complete battery packs in its own country.
00:30Without having to rely on a foreign joint venture.
00:34With American specialists for vehicles assembled in the USA, during the current visit to the mountain, the construction progress was clearly visible.
00:44The building shell is already up and the installation of important mechanical components for electrical systems and piping is in full swing.
00:53Production of so-called C-sample cells is already underway at the supplier's site.
00:58These are the last prototypes before series approval.
01:02These cells will soon be used for final design tests on upcoming Ford electric vehicles.
01:08By training the staff and carrying out pre-production in parallel, the schedule can be significantly tightened once the machines are installed at the new location in Michigan.
01:17After the equipment has been installed, the plant will be gradually upgraded to a cleanroom production site in accordance with the strictest protocols.
01:29A true high-tech center is being built here on an area of almost 1.5 kilometers in length, which will open a new chapter in battery production with a clear goal of independence from global supply chain risks and sustainable cost reduction.
01:41After all, batteries with lithium-ion-ion-phosphate technology are currently considered the most cost-effective solution in the automotive sector without compromising on safety, energy density or charging times.
01:56Ford has invested around 3 billion euros in the project.
02:00A sum that the company sees as a commitment to local production and long-term control over the entire value chain.
02:08Around 1,700 jobs will be created in the heart of Michigan.
02:12With this, Ford not only wants to bring innovation back to its own country, but also create a stable basis for remaining globally competitive in energy storage production.
02:26The decision to invest entirely in its own LFP production not only brings technological leadership, but also full control over quality, efficiency and further development.
02:37A decisive advantage in a rapidly developing market.
