- project will begin next month (March, 2019)
- project expected to be complete by spring (isn't March spring in the Midwest?)
- 500 new full-time jobs (500 more jobs than GE will bring to France)
- two factories: three new SUVs
- and, that folks, is the big story: three new SUVs
- one will be a hybrid which I no longer consider an EV
- the new Ford Explorer ST
- the Lincoln Aviator
- the Explorer Hybrid
