Ford Motor Co. says it plans to assemble its F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks at its Oakville, Ont., assembly plant beginning in 2026, a move that comes amid delays to the start of planned electric vehicle production at the site.Ford Motor Co. says it plans to assemble its F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks at its Oakville, Ont., assembly plant beginning in 2026. The automaker announced plans last year to spend $1.8 billion to transform the facility into a hub for electric vehicle manufacturing.
But after planning to start EV production at the plant in 2025, the company said in April it was pushing that back to 2027 to give the consumer market more time to develop and allow for further development of EV battery technology. "At the same time, we look forward to introducing three-row electric utility vehicles, leveraging our experience in three-row utility vehicles and our learnings as America's No. 2 electric vehicle brand to deliver fantastic, profitable vehicles."
The move was welcomed by the union, which called the EV production delays "too long, too disruptive and too harmful." Bringing production of Super Duty pickups to the Canadian plant means some employees will return to work a year earlier than expected, Ford Motor Co. said Thursday.
