After the 15.9 percent fall in sales on its own territory, Ford is preparing itself to convert some of its manufacturing facilities, currently dedicated to trucks and pick-ups, into car production to respond to market evolution.

We should soon see the results of Friday’s top management meeting at the Dearborn headquarters, where unionists and production managers also participated. Discussions included business evolution and solutions to remain in step with changing times.

Details should emerge next month, according to Automative News, but we can anticipate that the facilities in question are likely to welcome some production of European models. The aim is to offer more cost-effective and practical options and to cut the total number of the platform in the short term.
