Ford on track to complete $2B factory overhaul for Fathom EV truck | TechCrunch

福特预计将在 2027 年完成价值 20 亿美元的工厂改造，以生产首款基于新通用平台打造的 Fathom 电动皮卡。该公司两年前关闭肯塔基州路易斯维尔组装厂并拆除传统流水线，转而采用由前特斯拉高管 Alan Clarke 领导的团队开发的“通用生产系统”。该三分支组装体系利用大型单件铝铸件减少零件数量，使前后车身分枝独立组装，并在第三分支集成结构电池、座椅及内饰组件。作为改造的一部分，工厂 Wi-Fi 接入点密度已增至 1080 个，预计 Fathom 的组装速度将比旧车型净提升 15%。福特计划于 2027 年第一季度开始原型车制造，随后在当年晚些时候交付客户车辆。
