Ford ends manufacturing in Brazil


Recommended Posts

Production will cease immediately at Ford's plants in Camacari and Taubate, with some parts production continuing for a few months to support inventories for aftermarket sales. The Troller plant in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, will continue to operate until the fourth quarter of 2021. forpc.onl jiofi local html

The only thing left to cut in South America that is going to make a difference is Ranger production in Argentina.

 

The other thing Ford can do is exit a bunch of markets like Colombia where it has been selling cars for almost 100 years.

Again, Ford pretended to be doing one thing (now, selling Troller and keeping production) to announce later that they are closing down and sending workers home. They wasted time and effort of a handful of interested buyers to, at the end of the process, say they were not interested in selling the brand...

 

Goodbye, Troller: Ford will end production of the 4×4 jeep brand in September

Even with ongoing negotiations for the sale of the plant in Ceará, Ford will close the Troller brand and will not allow the T4 jeep to continue

Troller: A bad story from start to finish

Factory was an exceptional deal for Ford. But it comes out of it as nebulously as it entered. I tell this story

Ceará State criticizes Ford's decision to not sell the Troller brand

The note also informs that the "State monitored the sales negotiations, without interference, and remained enthusiastic about the commercial completion until July, when the process funneled with three possible buyers and Ford said it was being attended to, from the point of view of commercial arrangements”. The text mentions that Ceará “reserves the position of maintaining the search for the continuity of the factory for the development of the municipality of Horizonte and the maintenance of jobs”.

Ford is ending vehicle production in Brazil as part of a restructuring of its South American operations. The actions, including closing three plants, will result in $4.1 billion in pretax charges, Ford said. The cost includes about $2.5 billion in cash charges and $1.6 billion in noncash items. vidmate app download insta save
