On March 24, 2023 Ford, the No. 2 EV brand in the U.S.
in 2022, announced that they are on track with construction at
BlueOval City mega-campus and poised to usher in a new era of
American manufacturing assembly and innovation.
The electric vehicle and battery manufacturing campus in West
Tennessee begins production in 2025, and will be home to Ford’s
second-generation electric truck, code named Project T3, and will
be capable of producing 500,000 EV trucks a year at full
production.
To prepare individuals for the nearly 6,000 new jobs at
BlueOval City, Ford is introducing BlueOval Learning, a talent
development program which will strengthen skills, provide teacher
support and increase work-based learning experiences in West
Tennessee.
Project T3: Project T3 is the code name for Ford’s
second-generation electric truck arriving in 2025, which will
reinvent the Ford truck franchise that has been an icon of American
culture for more than a century. T3 stands for “Trust the
Truck,” and is the code name for Ford’s next-generation electric
truck. The truck is designed to be a trusted partner to unlock
connection, creativity and growth and has been the team’s rally cry
since early in its inception.
