STANTON, Tenn. — Ford Motor Co. on Friday said its BlueOval City manufacturing plant here will be able to produce 500,000 electric pickups per year when it comes online in 2025.
The site will build a next-generation truck that CEO Jim Farley has said would not be another F-150 Lightning. Ford on Friday said the vehicle program is codenamed “Project T3,” which is short for “trust the truck,” a mantra engineers and designers have used while developing it.
“Project T3 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionize America’s truck,” Farley said in a statement. “We are melding 100 years of Ford truck know-how with world-class electric vehicle, software and aerodynamics talent. It will be a platform for endless innovation and capability.”
