Ford Motor Company announces production delay for electric vehicles at BlueOval City

For those expecting the Ford Motor Company to have production ready at BlueOval City by the end of 2025, the wait will continue for at least another 18 months.

 

Ford announced construction on the facility will be completed in 2026.

 

In September 2021, Ford announced the $5.6 billion project to build electric F-Series pickups at the 3,600-acre parcel of land – the Memphis Regional Megasite.

 

The Ford Motor Company broke ground on the construction of steel structures in Stanton, located about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Jackson.

 

BlueOval City, is a joint venture with SK Innovation, which will build battery factories at the Tennessee site and in Glendale, Kentucky.

 

When complete, the project is predicted to boost the economies of several counties throughout West Tennessee. Ford plans to employ about 6.000 workers at the plant, while construction of the factory and the arrival of Ford suppliers will create jobs that number in the thousands.

 

From BlueOval City

 

• 2.1 million tons of concrete poured, as heavy as nine large cruise ships
• 187 miles of pipe installed, enough to stretch from Stanton to Nashville
• 96 miles of electrical power distribution cable placed across the site
