Ford Michigan Assembly Plant – home of the C-MAX assembly line.
Ford is making history, yet again! Ford Flexible Michigan Assembly Plant has made history by launching C-MAX Energy Plug-in Hybrid, that is beating Toyota in fuel economy across the lineup. It is the only manufacturing site in the world to build vehicles with five different fuel-efficient powertrains on the same line. Not only that, it is the only manufacturing site to build four vehicles that deliver 40 mpg or more in real-world driving.
Ford plans to deliver eight vehicles for American drivers by the end of the year that deliver 40 mpg or more. That is a claim no other full-line automaker can match. The Michigan plant is building half of those, including the C-MAX Energi, C-MAX Hybrid, Focus Electric and Focus SE with SFE – helping Ford complete a lineup that now beats Toyota in fuel economy in every segment where they both compete
“Michigan Assembly Plant is setting a new global standard for flexible manufacturing, and is a central part of Ford’s important milestone, sweeping Toyota across the board for fuel economy leadership,” said Jim Tetreault, Ford vice president of North America Manufacturing. “The transformation of this plant is proof of how our One Ford plan has transformed our products, giving our customers industry-leading choices for hybrids, plug-ins, electrics and EcoBoost-powered vehicles.
