Default Ford invests $550 million to produce global Focus and battery-electric Focus



Quote:
Yesterday, we reported that Ford will be investing a total of $440 million in its Michigan Assembly plant backed by a $159 million credit from Michigan state. FoMoCo today released in an official statement confirming the report saying that it will invest a total of $550 million to transform the Michigan Assembly plant from a large SUV factory to small-car plant.

It also confirmed that the next-generation Ford Focus, built on a new global C-car platform, will begin rolling off the line next year. Ford said that the Michigan Assembly plant will also built the battery-electric version of the Focus, the company’s first all-electric passenger car, in 2011.

The Focus BEV is being produced in partnership with Magna International and features a high-voltage electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. It can be charged by plugging in to a 110-volt or 220-volt outlet and provides up to 100 miles on a single charge

Ford said that the Focus BEV is just one part of Ford’s promise to deliver four new electric-vehicles in the U.S. by 2012.

Follow the jump for the press release for more information.

Is it me, or does just the site of the American Focus make you somewhat nauseous.
