Ford is cutting production of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup after weaker-than-expected electric vehicle sales growth. Ford said that about 1,400 workers will be impacted by the move to lower F-150 Lightning production, with the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center transitioning to one shift, effective April 1. Approximately 700 employees will transfer to Ford's Michigan assembly plant while other workers will be placed in roles at the Rouge Complex or other facilities in Southeast Michigan.

The shrinking production will impact 1,400 workers at Ford, including about 700 employees being transferred to Michigan Assembly.

Ford navigates the EV landscape in 2024, boosting production at Michigan Assembly Plant but adjusting F-150 Lightning output for a balanced approach. The move impacts existing jobs while creating 900 new positions.

Ford announced that is reducing production of the F-150 Lightning, "to achieve the optimal balance of production, sales growth and profitability."
