New Escape will be built in Louisville
Ford Motor Co. will renovate its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant to build the next-generation Ford Escape for North America. Some 1,800 jobs will be added when the plant reopens in late 2011, the company said last week. Ford said it plans to preview the redesigned Escape with a concept at the Detroit auto show in January. The vehicle will be built on the compact platform used for the redesigned 2012 Ford Focus, due in showrooms in the first quarter. Ford is investing $600 million to refurbish the Louisville plant, which will be flexible enough to produce five additional models, including cars, crossovers and wagons, the automaker said. Bloomberg News reported the plant also will produce a small crossover for Lincoln starting in 2012. The Louisville plant has built the Ford Explorer SUV since 1990. — David Phillips
