DETROIT - Ford Motor on Thursday outlined plans to use a Canadian plant it had earmarked for a future electric vehicle to instead build larger, gasoline-powered versions of its flagship F-Series pickup truck.
The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker plans to add capacity for 100,000 F-Series Super Duty trucks at the facility, including the ability to use what the company called "future multi-energy technology."“Super Duty is a vital tool for businesses and people around the world and, even with our Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant running flat out, we can’t meet the demand," Ford CEO Jim Farley said in a statement.
These lucrative F-150 heavy-duty trucks, which are especially popular for the automaker's commercial business, are also produced at assembly plants in Kentucky and Ohio. Heavy rain caused widespread flooding across the greater Toronto area on Tuesday, July 16, submerging multiple roads, including sections of the Don Valley Parkway, inundating train stations, and cutting power to more than 167,000 customers.This footage from Robert Hickey shows floodwaters streaming down stairs inside Toronto’s Union Station.Union Station was among at least four stations being bypassed by trains due to flooding, according to the Toronto Transit Commission.
