Ford is Reinventing Vehicle Assembly and Why America Should Care
Nearly 120 years ago, the Ford Model T became the “Universal Car.” Why? It was affordable, adaptable, and serviceable. America would never be the same.
Now, we’re ushering in the next chapter with the Ford Universal EV Platform — a new idea for a new era.
As with the Model T, Ford is again betting big on America. In Louisville, Kentucky, the reinvention of our company begins in earnest, with the implementation of an innovative manufacturing process to bring this platform to life.
Read the Full Announcement
We designed this platform to be the foundation for a new generation of electric vehicles. It is flexible enough to underpin trucks, cars, and everything in between.
Vehicles assembled on this platform will be affordable for the average family — but also highly efficient, customizable, and fun to drive. And they won’t be stripped down to the bare essentials.
Instead, these vehicles will be packed with innovative features and new software experiences that set them apart — and make people want to drive them. Better yet, they’ll improve over time with over-the-air updates that continue to add new capabilities where available.
Ford has been able to realize this vision because of a unique formula. We combined more than 120 years of manufacturing experience with the agility and inventiveness of a start-up “skunkworks” engineering team in California.

“I don’t think new EV startups will keep up with our Ford engineers and manufacturing teams making this a reality. New ideas are easy. But innovation is delivering ideas, in a way that millions can access.”
Doug Field, Ford chief EV, digital and design officer
The result: a new way to assemble vehicles. We’re calling it the Ford Universal EV Production System.
We transformed the traditional assembly line into a tree with three main branches. We’ll assemble the front and rear of the vehicle on separate lines. The third branch is the vehicle’s structural battery, which we’ll pre-assemble with seats, consoles, and carpeting.
These three branches come together at the end, a process that revolutionizes the factory and simplifies work for our employees.
Nothing is more important than the safety of our hourly workers. Not only will this reimagined manufacturing process be faster and require less space, but better ergonomics will result in less twisting, reaching, and straining, allowing them to stay focused on delivering quality for our customers.
Our Louisville-assembled midsize electric truck on this Universal EV Platform will debut in 2027. It will have a target starting MSRP at about $30,000, roughly the same as the Model T when adjusted for inflation.
It will be as quick as a Mustang EcoBoost, and it will have more passenger volume than a 2025 Toyota RAV4 — along with a truck bed, smart cargo and frunk solutions.
Ford is going to deliver what no other automaker has been able to: a family of affordable, adaptable electric vehicles that offer multiple body styles for work and play — including for export — and whose LFP batteries will be assembled in America, not imported from China.

不要对福特有太大的信心。福特干活很糙的，和电池这种要求精密的工艺八字不合。ccmath 写了： 2025年 8月 11日 11:46 看到 ford自己要造电池，我放心了

ford最nc的设计多年不改就是丫的灯的开关，真tmd人间一绝，经常一上下车就把车灯给调了你还不知道，没开过的就找不到哪里开，lol
If printing money would end poverty, printing diplomas would end stupidity.

电车对美国汽车工业是个救命的机会
在省油和可靠性上，是无论如何竞争不过日系的，现在连韩系都不如了
但电车没有那么多机械部件，活动部件，和热部件，可以避开这些劣势领域
Volvo的复兴就是靠电车，当然吉利的供应链和注资也起了作用

虽然但是，volvo有复兴吗？
