For more than 90 years, the cars we have produced at our Cologne plant, in Germany, have enabled freedom of mobility for many millions of people.
Now, we are opening a hi-tech production facility to build a new generation of electric passenger vehicles as part of a $2 billion investment. This represents a major vote of confidence in skilled German manufacturing jobs and the future of automotive production in Europe.
The electric Explorer will be the first vehicle to roll off the brand new production line at the Ford Cologne Electric Vehicle Center that will also offer battery assembly and state of the art tooling and automation.
Our first carbon neutral assembly plant will enable an annual production capacity of 250,000 vehicles and is an important milestone on the Road to Better, including the commitment to carbon neutrality across our entire European footprint of facilities, logistics and direct suppliers by 2035.
