"From the Floor of the Cuautitlan Stamping and Assembly Plant"



I found it interesting to see the inside of the plant where the Mach-E is assembled. Watching the video, one can see that Ford keeps the plant and equipment up to date.

"The Cuautitlán Stamping and Assembly Plant (CSAP) is a Ford Motor Company manufacturing facility located in Cuautitlán Izcalli, Mexico. The 202-acre (0.82 km2) site opened in 1964 and currently manufactures the Mustang Mach-E. The facility previously manufactured the Fiesta.
Construction of the plant began in 1962 and plant was inaugurated on 4 November 1964. Full vehicular assembly operations began operation in 1970, and since production began, the plant has manufactured over 2.2 million vehicles."

With the global vehicle market up for grabs, and with Chinese manufacturers expected to build vehicle production facilities in Mexico, it will be very interesting to see what they do different, and also how Ford responds.

Great video. Thanks for digging it out and posting it.
Love seeing the real folks who helped assemble our cars and my car and seeing the inside of the plant.
And it just is amazing how big, like tall Mr. Farley is and as you see him walk in video, his walk and gate and mannerisms remind me of his cousin Chris.
Very cool.

I love how the first machE they show in the video is yellow "cyber orange" because it's the best color - ie, the color they discontinued.

I saw 3 Monday (4 if you count the one I was in) - and, oddly, one appeared to have a Michigan manufacturers tag. Odd because I saw it on the 680 freeway in Oakland.
