Ford Motor Co. announced today it is pivoting away from its initial production plans to build electric vehicles at its Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario.
Instead, the automaker will refocus the plant to produce gasoline-powered versions of its flagship F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks by 2026.
Ford had planned to invest $1.8 billion to transform the Oakville facility into a leading hub that would manufacture three-row electric SUVs. Earlier this year, it announced it was delaying the start of EV production there until 2027, two years later than originally planned.
Now it says those EVs will be made elsewhere, with a location still to be announced.
