Ford bringt 2027 einen neuen mittelgroßen Elektro-Pick-up auf den Markt, der auf der Universal EV Platform basiert und im Rahmen des Ford Universal EV Production System produziert wird. Der Einstiegspreis soll bei etwa 28.000 € liegen, was ihn zu einem der günstigeren E-Pick-ups machen könnte.
Der noch namenlose Pick-up, für den sich Ford den Namen Ranchero gesichert hat, soll ähnlich schnell beschleunigen wie ein EcoBoost Mustang und dabei mehr Platz im Innenraum bieten als ein Toyota RAV4 – plus zusätzlichem Stauraum im Frunk und auf der Ladefläche.
Technisch setzt Ford auf prismatische Lithium-Eisenphosphat-Batterien ohne Kobalt und Nickel, die als tragendes Element in den Fahrzeugboden integriert sind. Das spart Gewicht, senkt den Schwerpunkt und verbessert das Fahrverhalten. Ein um 1.200 m kürzerer Kabelbaum reduziert Bauteile, Kosten und Montagezeit, wodurch die Produktion bis zu 40 % schneller laufen kann.
Alle weiteren Details zu PS, Reichweite, Batteriegröße in kWh und Ladezeiten will Ford zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt bekannt geben.

MotorTranskript
00:00Welcome to the new video from Car Magazine Tuning Block, which focuses on a midsize electric pickup truck that is being developed in response to growing competition from China.
00:11It is based on the new Universal Egg platform with Ford Universal Egg Production System, which enables simpler design and cheaper production.
00:21The first model, a four-door pickup, is set to appear in 2027 and will cost around 28,000 euros.
00:30It promises the acceleration of an EcoBoost Mustang and more space than a Toyota Rapier, in addition to storage space in the cargo area and frunk.
00:39The prismatic lithium-ion phosphate batteries, which are free of cobalt and nickel, serve as a load-bearing element, save weight, lower the center of gravity and thus improve handling.
00:50Thanks to a shorter wiring harness, fewer components and optimized assembly, production is expected to be up to 40% faster.
00:57Ford will announce precise data on range, battery capacity in kilowatt hours and charging times later.
01:06More on this in the next 50 minutes or so in the form of official statements from Ford.
01:10Magical Change is Necessary
01:27The mission is to design, develop, and architect a new ed platform to build affordable vehicles for Ford Motor Company.
01:42We had involvement with both product and manufacturing.
01:46Bring us together to optimize every system, every component, every part with this one goal.
01:51And that's the motivation that drives everyone.
01:55Backs against the wall and you got to make it happen.
01:58And it became very clear that there's no silver bullet really.
02:02That's kind of where we started to figure out, hey, maybe we could actually build the vehicle differently.
02:08Traditionally all the way back to the Mod T, vehicles are built on an assembly line.
02:13It's one straight line and you just bring all the parts to the car and the line continues to move.
02:23Been around assembly lines for 21 years and they built the exact same way and the same problems are always there.
02:32For me, wiring is always this nemesis and if you don't change that input then nothing else is ever going to change.
02:39There were tons of teens would come back and say, well, you're going to fail here, you're going to fail there, you're going to fail here.
02:49For deal production more breaking up the vehicle into three different sub-assembly lines in parallel and what that's actually doing is shrinking the overall time to go from start to finish with fewer stations and coming together seamlessly.
03:12And because of those modular sections, there's no obstruction, you now have full access where typically we would be reaching in through the door twist turn in parts.
03:20Now everything is unicastings are very important to this architecture.
03:24We can have one large casting as one process saving time, weight and cost.
03:29This gives you once in a generation opportunity to architect an entirely new platform with an entirely new powertrain and lower cost.
03:37The biggest factor that affects the cost of an electric vehicle is batteries, but reducing the size of the battery makes its way into every other part of the vehicle and allows us to make a lot of cost savings.
04:03We are going to use lithium iron phosphate batteries, are cobalt and nickel free.
04:12It also serves as the FL, which gives me better insulation from RO noise, better handling.
04:19This really allows for a much better F to drive.
04:23Express for the customer, the battery, the dry units, and everything are so much smaller, that for the same size outside, you actually get more space on the inside of the vehicle.
04:33You can put the powertrain in the front or the back.
04:36So, as a, we could give the customer more leg room, more head row, and ultimately makes a better vehicle.
04:44Developing this affordable EV architecture has been the biggest challenge of my career, but also give us the profound opportunity to really set for up for success in the next 120 years.
04:54They call me sunshine in the plant.
05:07Been employed with 30 years, second generation phlegm plant.
05:11I hired in 2019, the next products that Ford make on this platform lower cost and better for our customer.
05:17Traditionally, it's an assembly line.
05:19This is more like an assembly tree.
05:21Everything has fewer wires, fewer trips from A to B, and then this wiring is going to get a lot smaller.
05:27Wow!
05:28In trim, all of the parts are inside the vehicle.
05:31If we make the vehicle easier, better to build us employees.
05:38So the stuff you saw on the power before X here you can touch it.
05:42You can feel it.
05:45That's the size of the main body wire harness and it's not needed with a hoist to pick it up to dump it to then move it.
05:51A lot of the trim components in the interior have undergone design optimizations to make things easier to assemble.
06:02Front clip.
06:03When you have this all up, things are right in front of you.
06:06Need to make a lectoral connection right there in front of you.
06:10When it came to, the OMIC been there for 25 years and never seen anything like it.
06:16Is the right of this part that's new one?
06:19Wow!
06:20Right?
06:20The other part of it too that we've seen is that the middle, right, which is the battery.
06:29Easier to put.
06:31It's take so much stress off my body, I can't wait.
06:36I never thought it could be made but we could have you guys all the way here without seeing the truck for the first time.
06:43So you come with me take a look.
06:46Oh my god!
06:48Oh wow!
06:49Wow!
06:50Nice!
06:52Awesome!
06:53The right size!
06:55I think I want one.
06:56Just watch how the quality is going to be on this vehicle.
06:59Going to be number one.
07:00It's going to impact manufacturing for years to come.
07:03The amount of innovation that I saw here today going to be huge.
07:08Revolutionary!
07:08How awesome was that?
07:11That Mitch and Pat coaches I'm so excited about today.
07:16We've been waiting three years for this for this moment.
07:19So thanks for everyone for being here, for all of you on Theum.
07:22It's great to be here in Kentucky.
07:25This is home away from home.
07:27And you could debate whether it's wildcat or cardinal country, but the one thing we all have in common is for country.
07:34I'll let me get serious for a moment.
07:38I'll let me get serious for a moment.
07:40I'll let me get serious for a moment.
07:42In our careers as automotive people, we're lucky if we get to work on one or two projects that really change the face of our industry.
07:54And I believe today is going to be the match as one of those projects for all of us here.
07:58We finally get to tell you what we've been working on for three years behind the doors.
08:06We call this the Ford Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.
08:20It represents the most radical change in how we design and build vehicles at Ford since the Model T
08:26and I'm especially pleased to announce that the first vehicle on this new platform will be a mid-sized truck right here at Will Customers in 2027.
08:34Now the automotive industry in America is a crossroads where we crossroads about new technology.
08:50And about new technologies from every corner.
08:56We've known for years that the Chinese are the globally responsible companies that are coming to us.
09:05For us, the big tech has their backs in the auto industry.
09:10They're all coming to us.
09:11They're all coming to us.
09:11Legacy automotive companies need a radical approach and a really tough challenge.
09:31Legacy automotive companies need a radical approach and a really tough challenge.
09:31We looked at the challenge of innovation.
09:53We looked at the Model T and the Florida V8 that Mr. Ford installed in our cars in 32.
10:01These were times when Ford broke with tradition and broke the rules and we made a leap forward for years and we did something that no one really did.
10:09People of the ordinary people to do this kind of work, time zones away from Detroit, and we gave them the keys to the kingdom.
10:23We tore up the moving assembly line that you see here today, and we came up with a brand new concept, a brand new vehicle, and a better way of making a car.
10:36After 122 years, we found a way to the first attempts to make prismatic LFP battery cells here in the U.S. and notching them from overseas.
10:57And that's right.
10:58You are right.
11:01We will spend a billion here in Lewis modernizing this plan.
11:06And that's 2,200 hourly workers that have a future for decades to come.
11:16And we didn't stop there.
11:18We built a blue oval battery park in Michigan.
11:22We spent a billion building a brand new battery plant and almost 2,000 new jobs for those people.
11:30That's a billion.
11:36And 4,000 American jobs.
11:40And what do our competitors do?
11:42They build their affordable vehicles in South Korea and Japan and they import them.
11:47But not us at Ford.
11:50We made a big bet on our country and we made a huge bet on the state and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
11:55Now why do I say bet?
12:06That's an intentional word because there are no guarantees with this project.
12:11We are doing so many new things I can't tell you with 100% uncertainty this will all go just right.
12:17The automotive industry has a graveyard littered with affordable vehicles that were launched in our country with all good intentions and they fizzled out with idle plants, laid off workers and read in and at 3 years ad we set out to break that cycle.
12:39No more compliance cars, no more loaders require a big check from the company to make.
12:53We are talking about a vehicle that can sustain itself have profits all of our workers and the community here actually has a sustainable future.
13:01Could have followed, hacked up our bags, and moved this kind of project to South Korea, Japan, some else, for lower cost labor, currency advantages, low suppliers.
13:18But that is not the way we do things at Ford.
13:21We took on the challenge many others have stopped doing.
13:24We took the fight to our competition, including the Chinese teams, across United States, designers from California, engineers from Michigan.
13:44And after 40 years in the industry, I could tell you, for too long, legaciers sure it wasn't always that way, you know, the beginning of our industry.
13:54Do you know?
13:56Steam and electricity and gasoline, a third of sales, there was no clear winner.
14:11West, Henry, for tame, overall engine took the.
14:18Mod Tercel car was affordable.
14:20It was adaptable, like this beautiful pickup truck from the Kentucky farm.
14:27I mean, it came in different body styles.
14:31You could put rail car wheels on it.
14:33You could use it as a sawmill.
14:35It changed society.
14:37If you had a ranch in some common sense, you could even fix it.
14:42Now is time to change the game once again.
14:45The new pick here in a ville is going to cure a lot of problems like all those generic crossovers that dominate our injury.
14:57I want you to see your eyes metaphorically.
14:59This is the Share這邊.
15:18I want you to see your eyes movie.
15:20If you look at my mind, I don't want to ice in here.
15:21I want you to watch your eyes before.
15:23And for watching me, I have to explore this.
15:25I love you.
15:25I really hope you're with all.
15:26I'm feeling very sweet.
15:27I love you.
15:27I don't know.

16:58Ford Motor Company
17:13This project is about our country
17:15Look, I couldn't be more proud of all you
17:18Thank you for being here to special but this is the beginning of the moment
17:22This is not the end
17:24We have a lot of work to do and I'm so honored today to be joined by the first Kentucky Brittany
17:32And by the way she brought thank you
17:34Thank you for being here
17:38And by the way she also brought her husband
17:41He's a man who knows something about building a future
17:43He's a strong partner for us here in Kentucky
17:47Done amazing jobs for your state and commonwealth
17:50He helped transform forward
17:53It is my honor to introduce a great leader of our country born right here in Lewis, Governor Andier
18:00Aw
18:06Hello everyone
18:13What an exciting day for Kentucky and especially Louisville as we mark another historic milestone with Ford Motor Company
18:21Today Ford Motor Company and Team Kentucky are introducing the world to the future of automotive production
18:29Just like Henry Ford entrusted Kentucky to build his mod a century ago
18:35Today Jim Farley and Cham and Bill Ford are putting that trust in us once again
18:41Thank you
18:43Thank you
18:44Thank you
19:11Billion is kenti that investment is going to transform the assembly plant to create the future of auto manufacturing with universal electric vehicle platform
19:41And this cutting edge platform will be the foundation for the next generation of vehicle
19:45The best part is these vehicles will be affordable
19:48More SCH that more jobs people a de suture 40 we done through our Kentino 22 S.8
19:54Together we've created more than 16,000 jobs and people over half of that investment
20:11Than will be next generation of vehicles
20:13The best part is the last time and people over
20:15Hel patronatarians
20:17And this should be available for us
20:20The best part is we Normal to combine the company
20:23That ingredient that we make
20:24the allasan Oriana has given us
20:25據 the garden
20:27The best part
20:29The best part is a project
20:34To show off
20:36The best part is your family
20:38Come since become new jobs for our people.
20:53That includes the single largest economic and jobs announcement in Kentucky history
20:57where Ford and SK are creating one of the largest EV battery plants on earth in Hardin County.
21:03From the start, we knew this was an investment so bold and so big it could create its own gravity.
21:10As more companies work to be a part of the EV supply chain in Kentucky.
21:16Now 13.1 billion in EV investments later from companies across the globe.
21:22We know that Kentucky has become the EV battery production capital of the United States of America.
21:33For most companies in most states, that would be enough for say a decade or maybe more,
21:41but Ford isn't most companies and Kentucky isn't your average place to do business.
21:46Together we've rolled out some of Ford's most important vehicles.
21:50The Model T, the Ford F-Series Super Duty Truck.
21:54A day so exciting, we even proclaimed September 27, 2022 as Kent Truckee Day in the Commonwealth.
22:01Yes, it was so big they convinced me to do that.
22:05The Lincoln Navigator, the Ford Expedition, and they're all built Ford Tough by our tough and talented Kentucky workforce.
22:12Let's hear it for all these Kentucky workers that help drive forward.
22:16Today, Ford is again showing that Kentucky not only builds the toughest vehicles,
22:29but we're also the best place for the highest technology and the most advanced manufacturing on planet Earth.
22:35And that trust in our workforce is why we're seeing so many incredible wins across Kentucky.
22:40Over the past few years, we've now announced a record billion in new private investment.
22:48A record amount nearly doubling what any other administration has accomplished.
22:54Last week alone, we celebrated over 5 billion of new investments in our Commonwealth.
23:00Together, we've created over 62,500 new jobs in Kentucky at the best age for new wages that we've ever seen.
23:08This is the first time that those all happened at the same time.
23:14What good for our companies?
23:17Our workers and our community now, ours is growing.
23:22This unprecedented electric platform is for betting on the future,
23:26and they're counting on Kentucky workers to make it a reality.
23:30So, Jim, I want to thank you and Ford for helping us achieve this unprecedented economic success.
23:36It takes a lot of guts and a lot of trust to make these ties of generational investments also want.
23:55And I want to give a big thanks to the thousands of United States workers who are here with us today,
24:00building a better Commonwealth.
24:02They provide the backbone for our construction, advanced manufacturing, and more.
24:12Think about it.
24:14Ford is literally putting its future in your hands.
24:17So, let's give all these workers another big round of applause.
24:20Today is a historic day for our Commonwealth in this great iconic American company.
24:34Together, Kentucky and Ford are bringing the future of the EV industry to this world.
24:39Folks, I love our Commonwealth.
24:42I love our country and today is a big day for all of us.
24:45No left, no right, no red, no blue, no Democrat, no Republican.
24:50Just an amazing announcement for Kentucky and the United States of America.
25:00So, thank you.
25:02God bless all of you.
25:03What a day.
25:04And next we're going to hear from Doug Field, Ford TV, Chief of Digital and Design.
25:09Thank you all very much.
25:11Thank you.
25:11Thank you.
25:15Thank you, Governor B, not only for joining us at this event, but for all of the incredible
25:25things you've done to support Ford M Company.
25:28Thank you.
25:35We are so excited to show you what we've done here.
25:38It's a peek into the future.
25:40It's been really hard to remain quiet, but it's also really special for me to be here.
25:47My family goes back over a century in Lexington and I spend a heck of a lot of summers on a
25:52hog and taub some more between here in Lexington.
25:57So I'm Team Kentucky to now.
25:59So the reason I came back to Ford was I wanted to figure out how we could combine the innovation
26:10of the startups like Tesla and Riven with the industrial might and the storied 122 history
26:16of Ford.
26:19And this quote here from Henry Ford was our constant inspiration.
26:23The Mod T was affordable not because it was a thrifted version of other cars that were
26:29out there.
26:31It was the result of brilliant minds taking new approaches to old ones.
26:38We had to do the same thing.
26:40So we started very small.
26:42We had a person named UC on VideoWeed to build a very small team around that handpicked talent
27:01the best from outside of the best from inside of.
27:04We looked for people who were not only the best in their field, but that also had been
27:08dying for a chance to challenge convention and we ran the team differently.
27:12It had a fraction of the typical oversight and much lower numbers was understood prior
27:17to prior here.
27:32For example, in our old systems, a chassis engineer might actually be penalized for spending
27:38an extra on brakes.
27:42And in cases like this project, that could have saved us $20 in batteries, $25 in batteries
27:48because they were lower drag.
27:52So, our team worked that way constantly and tirelessly.
27:56One of our mantras was simple.
27:58It was the best part is no part.
28:01So we locked the doors.
28:03We kept the project secret to shield it from well-intended but sometimes disruptive corporate
28:09oversight.
28:12Um, even Jim would joke that he wasn't sure his badge worked on the building.
28:17And we gave the team access to everything that Ford offers but we also gave him the permission
28:22to question everything from old obsolete requirements to actually having to use a brand new computerized
28:27design system.
28:30So the engineers could see their part every day at the beginning of the day in the entire
28:34assembly.
28:36They could keep thinking, system thinking.
28:39So, to keep focus, we also made sure the entire team was in one building in California,
28:45the designers, the AAM people, doing the manufacturing work.
28:49And decisions were made really quickly, either by Alan in a bi-weekly review that I had, or
28:56straight to the gym to make the final call.
29:00And we wouldn't have gotten this far with this much innovation otherwise.
29:07On efficiency, the same efficiency go across everyone to make the whole.
29:11So we can actually compare to a typical generation 1 electric vehicle.
29:19We can get the same range with a third less battery.
29:22And that's the kind of ingenuity we need to compete with the Chinese.
29:26Are we going to compete on labor to make batteries?
29:29No, but if we use our brains, have a third smaller battery, we can compete.
29:34So, just like the Model T, this innovation is going to be how we deliver affordability,
29:41and, as Jay said, a sustainable project, not a charity case, not a compliance project.
29:48But I want you to hear more now from the actual team.
29:56This was not easy at all.
29:58We fought a battle globally that is ultimately testing our capability.
30:04It's really not magical changes necessary.
30:15The mission is to design, develop, architect a new ED platform to build affordable vehicles for motor companies.
30:24We had involvement with both product and manufacturing,
30:27bringing us together to optimize every system, every component, every part, with this one goal.
30:34Traditionally, all the way back to the T-vehicles, are built on assembly line.
30:54It's one straight line and you just bring all the parts of the car and the line continues to move.
31:05Been around assembly lines for 21 years and they built the exact same way and the same problems are always there.
31:11For me, wiring is always this nemesis and if you don't change that input then nothing else is ever going to change.
31:20There were tons of teams would come back and say, well, you're going to fail here, you're going to fail there, you're going to fail here.
31:31Portal production more breaking up the vehicle into three different sub-assembly lines in parallel and what that's actually doing is shrinking the overall time to go from start to finish with fewer stations coming together seamlessly and because of those modular sections there's no obstruction you now have full access where typically we would be reaching in through the door twist turn in order to install parts.
31:58Now everything is right in front of you.
32:05Una castings are very important to this architecture.
32:07We can have one large casting as one process saving time, weight and cost.
32:13This gives you a once in a generation opportunity to architect an entirely new platform with an entirely new powertrain and lower cost for our customer.
32:28Saw this as more than an experiment.
32:30An opportunity to make Marty the biggest fact that affits the cost of electric vehicle
32:57vehicle as batteries, but reducing the size of the battery makes it way into every other part of the vehicle and allows us to make a lot of cost.
33:05Yes, we are going to use lithium iron phosphate batteries.
33:08They are cobalt and nickel free.
33:10It also serves as the fluid, which means better ride isolation from road noise.
33:14Better handling this really allows for a much better F to drive experience for the customer.
33:19The battery, the drive units and everything are so much smaller that for the same size outside you actually get more space on the inside of the vehicle.
33:27You can put the powertrain in the front or the back.
33:30So as a result, we could give the customer more leg room, more head room and ultimately makes a better vehicle.
33:36Developing this affordable architecture has been the biggest challenge USO for up such a great team.
33:42So to pull this off, we had to make a lot of new investments.
33:45The unicasting process that you saw, the giant solid piece of aluminum comes from very new machines and new processes.
33:52But when you build a vehicle that way, if you just look at the body, compare it to a traditional pickup.
33:57Three coup of the parts are gone.
33:59It has one coup of the parts, 23D of the WS are gone.
34:02For those of you, the body shop and half of the fasteners are gone.
34:06But we didn't stop with the body in the electrical system compared to typical Gen 1 electric SUVs.
34:11The removed 4000 ED of wiring over three coup of AM of wiring is G.
34:16And the disruption to how we build this entire vehicle is every bit important to us as the product itself.
34:21You saw the straight singular assembly line.
34:36When we now build this in the tree with the three pieces and bring them together, everything is going to change.
34:55If we can pull this off, you will never put an instrument panel or a seat through a door opening again.
35:03And this way of building a vehicle, we're confident, is the first time anyone's done this anywhere in the world.
35:17So, this will be a very special place.
35:20Now you might be wondering why we decided that our universal vehicle should be an EV.
35:26It enabled a lot of the revolution you're going to see in the assembly but we also believe EVs are the best product by far for the customers going after.
35:41You charge it at home, it's always ready in the morning and you never visit a gas station.
35:45It's a truly surprising experience once you own one.
35:49Incredibly low maintenance and it's really, really fun.
35:53In this vehicle we have a really low center of gravity from the battery, instant torque from the electric motors, obsessive chassis engineering via the Ford team, and it will be unbelievable to drive.
36:07And it's more than a truck.
36:09As Jim mentioned, it's a mobile power plant.
36:12Outlets in the back can give you high power and let you plug in anything from tools to a refrigerator and it can provide backup power for your home.
36:24Over time you own a vehicle affordable at the beginning but it also beats the cost of ownership even if you were to go a 3 year old Tesla Model Y and you should look it up those are you?
36:42We haven't even started to get into the innovation in the interior in the digital space, the ground zonal architecture that we talk about.
37:00It doesn't just cut those 4000 feet of wires out.
37:04It's going to have feature things daily way.
37:06This is not too old shikow but unfortunate have that chapter.
37:09I don't think there are many legacy car companies that could pass a like this.
37:13Why and I don't think you patienting manufacturing and how they can actually new ideas or easy innovation is actually delivering those ideas in a way that Millie can access them.
37:23As Jim said, success is not guaranteed.
37:48When you take these kinds of risks, you sign up for a whole hell lot of work and we're going to need all of your help.
37:55But I know Ford is the company that can and will pull this off.
37:59So, next up, I'd like to invite UAW Vice President and Director of the Ford Department, Laura Dickerson.
38:06Please welcome.
38:07Thank you.
38:11Hello Assembly Plan.
38:22I'm Laura Dickerson, newly elected Vice President and Director of the UAW's Ford Department.
38:32I'm here today with my good friend Tim Smith.
38:39I'm Laura Dickerson.
39:04Thank you.
39:07UW Region 8 Smith Assembly Plant has a proud history assembling a number of vehicles since
39:12opening in 1955 including Escape for Air Explorer Ranger and F-Series. This plant also strengthens
39:19the community Maru teams and you plead me welk brewerant of manure branding chem you everybody
39:24alright thank you and congratulations on the new role also a shout out to Chuck Brown on
39:29his retirement and the years of service that he did to all the members.
39:37It's an exciting day here in Lewis in Ford
40:06manufacturing we live and breathe continuous improvement every day we call it kissing but
40:12sometimes you need to take a dramatic leap forward you add to the continuous improvement
40:17and you go bigger and bigger and that's what we're going to talk about today we have a chance
40:22to build our manufacturing approach here straight from the ground up and so we've listened to
40:28all of your feedback and you're going to see some of the things here that are going to really
40:32change the game. All of the things that you've liked that have caused problems and we always
40:38start with safety. We know we start with safety, quality delivery, cost of people. SQDCP safety number
40:47one. And so here are some of the things that we've been working on out in California with the
40:52manufacturing team. The result is the ergonomics with this process are going to be simply completely
40:59different. As you saw we're going to build this in a tree formation where the modules are coming in
41:06which keeps us Kevin said on the video completely open. The vehicle will arrive in front of you with
41:13all the components in the right orientation, the scanners, the power tools, the screens built right there.
41:19As you move it on forward, there'll be hardly any stock at all in the back, so you don't have to
41:26worry about reaching. If you look at it, there's less twisting, turning, bending because that's the
41:32foundation on safety as are our people and that also then helps on our quality and our costs.
41:38Think of this. 84% less 24 in reaches over the front fender elsewhere gone. Okay.
41:49� VERS
41:5005aph
41:5805.
42:0705.
42:1005.
42:13...
42:41less ingress getting into the vehicle both from a safety and from a quality standpoint that's been
42:46designed out reaching above the 5 the 62 in above us over 60 some improvement on there it's all
42:52intended and asg said and think of this again three coup of a mile of the wiring harness gone
42:5722s taken out of that it's like carrying two bowling balls for almost a from stand at us to
43:0340 quicker have more operatority in there so we can do it in a way better for our customers and
43:09better for quality and we've reinvested some of that so we can do mooring and are the highest level
43:14of automation with all of globally it means that on a net be 15 to 20 percent faster on producing and
43:20you're already pretty fast the complexity now that was talked about is something that's really great
43:26because if you don't have the part you can't make one that has 20s 50 percent cooling hoses and hose
43:31connections gone pop clamps everybody love pop clamps gone all quick connects now better quality
43:37better earned better cost that's a big deal adds to production side of people and ability and flow
43:42it all up on easier for you so you can focus on the quality and the processing we've reduced the
43:47workstations as i said and we're making the workstations in a much more efficient way dock to
43:52dock so we can get it to the customer faster the partnership of you and your ideas are going to
43:57continue to be needed because as said it's going to be ambitue of this grand innovative idea you
44:02suture this product is going to be designed more around the employees ergonomics has been taken
44:07into it a whole lot more we should have healthier workforce should be able to go home to your
44:12families and not be sore at the end of the day which is going to be great uh with this new product
44:16comes new opportunities for employees as well our skill trades employees are going to work throughout
44:21and training new equipment coming into the building
44:51our production employees are going to spend time learning the systems and a better way of working
45:22there's going to be all new jobs and a lot of training with those as well so we've got a lot
45:27of good stuff coming to us i'm going to turn it back over to bryce yeah no we're excited i mean
45:33training is the core we're going to be doing it with respect to the killed trade skill trades with
45:37respect to our assembly we're going to be using virtual reality and real life training so there's a
45:43lot of investment going on here because we've got to learn this new manufacturing approach and we've got
45:48to perfect it what we want to do is make sure that we're the most efficient best quality planned out
45:55in the market coming from here in lewis and we also know that the only way to truly get there from a
46:02high-tech product a high-tech plant is we have to also invest in the digital infrastructure here
46:09so this infrastructure going to be at lewis will be the fastest globally of any of our plants
46:15meaning we can do quality checks we can do things that with the ai that you're ready to use today to
46:21improve the quality which you've done a tremendous job this year thank you goes to the next level with
46:27what we're going to put in here so we're excited working together this is a big deal in the
46:34partnership that we're going for this new product and the investment means a lot to us here in louville
46:41this truck will be another signature vehicle here in kentucky i can't wait to get it and i hope you
46:47guys are excited about it as well as you all know when we have a thriving plant we can help build thriving
46:54communities
47:01so this is one of the reasons i came to ford i've been with ford for two and a half years
47:05my wife's family is fourth generation ford gives back they give back to the communities they help
47:10change the world and they invest in the u.s since 2020 here in kentucky ford and employees have
47:18donated over a million and over 10 000 hours in the local community right here
47:28and that doesn't include our 48 dealers and their 2 300 people so this is where it's going
47:34and the next chapter of our journey begins right here today in louisville
47:38brandon thank you so much for coming here louis we're going to get there
47:50so to help me wrap the program i'd like to invite a very talented louisville assembly plant employee
47:56she works on the trim line she's been recognized for living out what we call our ford os behaviors
48:05you can tell by her disposition but everyone calls her sunshine please join me in welcoming sandra lee to the stage
48:12good morning
48:22i said good morning
48:24i'm proud to have been a ford employee for 18 years so many of us have dedicated our careers to ford and
48:31global assembly plant this is family and let me tell you we are ready for the challenge
48:36right team
48:42i know we can count on you i know we can count on all of you out there to get to the level we need to be
48:50but one of the things sunshine you got to sneak peek
48:53we sent you out to california with some of your colleagues to take a look at the vehicle
48:57meet with the engineering and the manufacturing team
49:01what what did you learn out there
49:02well i did get a sneak peek bryce and i can't wait for the day when everyone in the can see the truck
49:10and we can show the world until then i'll say this when the engineers created this truck and the
49:17production system they were clearly thinking about us the operators and that includes me
49:23let's get up to speed today by hearing from a few other members of the team and their first
49:28impression of the vehicle in the new platform
49:42they call me sunshine in the plant been employed with 30 years second generation phlegm plant i
49:48hired in 2019 the next products that ford make on this platform lower cost and better for our
49:54customer traditionally it's an assembly line this is more like an assembly treat everything is fewer
49:59wires fewer trips from a to b and then this wiring is going to get a lot smaller in trim all of the
50:06parts are inside the vehicle if we make the vehicle easier better to build i think it's going to help
50:13our employees so the stuff you saw on the powerpoint before exists it's here you can touch it you can feel
50:20it that's the size of the main body wire harness wow and it's not needed with a hoist to pick it up
50:28to dump it to then move it a lot of the trim components in the interior have undergone design
50:35optimizations to make things easier to assemble front clip when you have this all up things are right in
50:42front of you you need to make an electrical connection right there in front of you
50:46when it came to the bin there for 25 years and never seen anything like it
50:53this is the of this part oh that's the new one wow
51:00the other part of it too that we've seen is the one in the middle right which is the battery lots
51:06easier to put seats on huh it's going to take so much stress off my body i can't wait
51:12i never thought it could be made better but it did
51:17we couldn't have all the way here without seeing the truck for the first time
51:24my god oh wow
51:28nice awesome the right size i think i want one just watch how the quality is going to be on this vehicle
51:36we're going to be number one it's going to impact manufacturing for years to come the amount
51:41of innovation that i saw here today going to be huge
51:49revolutionary that that's just a sneak peek
51:55and for those of you out there tempered air will be in here in 27 also so you won't have to swap
52:01all right first of all thank you everybody for joining us today we have a lot of work to do
52:12this is the right team to do it i am super confident so excited well done lewis
