Ford announced today it will invest an additional £150 million in its Halewood factory as it scales up the plant's involvement in its European electrification strategy.
From 2026, Halewood will supply 420,000 motors for Europe-bound EVs annually – almost double the previously planned figure of 250,000.
Autocar caught up with Ford of Britain chairman Tim Slatter following the news.
How big a deal is this announcement in the Ford EV world?
'We’d say it’s a really big deal, not just for the UK but globally.
