Ford Motor Company of the United States will start laying off hourly workers at the Rogue Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan, which produces the electric pickup truck "F-150 Lightning" starting next week.

据美国广播公司3月28日报道，美国福特汽车公司发言人称，Hours will be laid off starting next week at the Rogue Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan, which produces the electric pickup truck "F-150 Lightning" 。此举将影响约1400名员工，其中700人将转移到同样在密歇根州的装配厂，还有一些员工将被分配到其他工作岗位或者退休。

Ford significantly cut its F-150 Lightning production at the beginning of this year as electric vehicle sales grew less than expected. Ford began producing the "F-150 Lightning" in April 2022 and sold more than 24,100 vehicles in the United States in 2023, an increase of nearly 55% from the previous year. But dealers reported that sales of the car were slowing and inventories were increasing.
