Ford Cuautitlán: a year of Mexican electrification
November 4, 2021 | Mexico City, Mexico
Since 2020, the plant has produced up to 305 units per day, adding, as of today, 60,988 Mustang Mach-E which are exported to more than 20 countries [1]. Among the main recognitions it has globally, are the Guinness Record for lower energy consumption, Best Compact SUV in its segment according to JD Power and the Electric Vehicle of the Year (2021) by Car and Driver magazine.
“The success of Mustang Mach-E has been due to the talent in Ford of Mexico that came to revolutionize the industry automotive in the country. To be part of the new era of mobility in the world, little by little we are preparing so that 40% and 50% of our sales to the United States are completely electric models,” said Luz Elena del Castillo, president and CEO of Ford of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Central America and the Caribbean. “The transformation of Ford Cuautitlán to produce this new model is just a clear example of this,” she added.
The factory of the future
To produce the Mustang Mach-E, Ford Cuautitlán had a renewal process of approximately 80% in all its infrastructure. The most important thing was the integration of Manufacturing 4.0, which consists of the digitization of processes with sensors, data analysis systems, use of robots, interconnectivity between machines and procedures throughout of the entire production chain.
This plant became the first of the firm globally to have an lithium electric battery assembly process with electronic and leak test cells that validate its complete sealing and operation.
Another aspect that has made Ford Cuautitlán be considered the plant of the future is the priority that it has given to the care of the environment and the high standards that it has established to reduce the consumption of water. It currently has a water treatment plant, which by capturing 15.5 million liters of rainwater, it has saved 150 million liters in all its production processes.
“Ford Cuautitlán became a completely new plant to be at the level of such a demanding vehicle as Mach-E. Today we are one of the most important facilities of the firm globally and a benchmark for technology, quality, process optimization, sustainability, inclusion and diversity,” mentioned Enrique Araiza, Manufacturing Director of Ford of Mexico.
More than five decades of talent and quality
It was in 1964 when Ford Cuautitlán was inaugurated as an engine foundry with a center of product development engineering, central quality control laboratories and test track. Later, as a multifunctional plant, it started with the production of vehicles and since then, it has become one of the most important facilities for Ford thanks to the more than 2 million units it has produced for Mexico and the rest of the world.
Although the initial purpose of the plant was the production of V8 engines and their components, they subsequently began the assembly operations of the F-150, F-250 and F-550 trucks to later manufacture several of the more iconic brands such as Cougar, Gran Marquis, Contour, Mustang, Ikon and Fiesta, whose manufacture ended in 2019 to start with the “Mexican made electrification.”
“Today marks 57 years since Cuautitlán began to make history, but we also celebrate the first year of Mach-E production, revolutionizing the new era of electrification in the world. We are sure that we will continue to grow, break records and reach higher and higher goals that will allow us to continue being leaders in this new era of the automotive industry,” added Marcos Madrid, Plant Manager at Ford Cuautitlán.
[1] Mustang Mach-E is exported to the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Sweden, Finland, Portugal, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.
