Overview

  • Ford Almussafes will stop vehicle production on nine days between late August and September due to low workload under an ERTE RED plan.
  • Ford has reduced the new model’s annual production projection from 300,000 units to 209,000, a change communicated to suppliers but not officially disclosed to plant employees.
  • The plant has produced only 60,895 Kuga SUVs from January through July, marking a 25% year-on-year decline.
  • Plant union representatives insist on maintaining the 300,000-unit annual commitment and say they expect Ford to honor that figure.
  • Almussafes’ future hinges on a multi-energy model due in 2027, with official discussions on production volumes set to take place after the summer break.
