Ford adding third shift to build more EcoBoost V6s, 250 jobs saved in Ohio
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing, Ford
Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 has proved popular with customers, with more than 180,000 finding homes in driveways and garages since launching in 2009. Ford has but a single facility in the United States turning out this engine, Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1. Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 is also home to the 3.7 liter V6 that kicks out over 300 horsepower in the Mustang and continues to sell at full tilt in the F-150.
With two belles of the automotive ball under a single roof, Ford is adding 250 workers and a third shift of production at the Cleveland engine plant to keep up.

The manpower will largely come from Cleveland Engine Plant No. 2, which is being closed later this week.Continue reading Ford adding third shift to build more EcoBoost V6s, 250 jobs saved in Ohio
