Very cool video - Ford Hybrid Assembly Line Tour

Recommended Posts

Thanks for sharing.

I thing I noticed since we had discussion about the sequence of colors it appears that Ford is grouping same color cars together. I have seen other car manufacturers that mix and and match colors on the assembly line. But it could also just be that in this plant the paint department hasn't been updated.

 

Very interresting.

Ford has really done an impressive job of utilizing existing infrastructure and not adding cost for production.

Very nice! Nice find. It is one of the reason why Ford didn't need a Gov. bailout.

Here you go it's not the you tube link but rather the video for the original website.

Lets see if this works

Someone please send that guy a camera stabilizer. I wanted to watch this but had to bail after about 20 seconds of that camera jumping all over the place.

Interesting. I would love to tour the Hermosillo plant where our cars were made or FRAP to see the C-Max get produced. Has anyone watched the NatGeo Megafactories episode about Tesla? That was really cool too.

Saw the preproduction builds of the Volt, where the cars were basically built by hand.
