Production begins on Mexico's first Ford electric vehicle: Mustang Mach-E
Revista Movilidad 3 Mobility Magazine 3

Today, the production start of mustang Mach-E 2021 is announced at the Cuautitlán Izcalli (CSAP) assembly and stamping plant in the State of Mexico, Ford's first electric SUV produced in Mexico for the world. With the presence of Alfredo del Mazo, governor of the State of Mexico, Héctor Pérez, CEO of Ford de México, as well as the main executives of the company, us kicking off a new era for the signing of the blue oval globally as part of the 56th anniversary of the plant.

The assembly of an all-electric vehicle is different from that of a combustion vehicle, as the requirements and needs are completely different. This is why the Cuautitlán Izcalli plant, where the Ford Fiesta was produced from 2010 to 2019, carried out an adaptation process of approximately one year to be able to integrate the new technologies, as well as meet all the requirements to have the complete equipment. At the same time, the staff received a training that allowed them to know each of the processes for the creation of this product, its technology, design and engineering to deliver the most innovative vehicle, with the highest level of quality characteristic of Mexican talent.

"Mexico is the perfect country to lead this transformation, Thanks to the capacity and experience that Mexicans have demonstrated in the design, engineering and manufacture of the brand's products, we have been selected to revolutionize Ford's history with the brand's first electric SUV, as well as revolutionizing the automotive industry in the country 95 years ago, and 56 years after celebrating the opening of our Cuautitlán plant," said Héctor Pérez, CEO of Ford of Mexico.

The manufacturing process had to make some updates and changes during the adaptation process for the development of Mustang Mach-E's final structure:

Stamping: The dies weigh between 20 and 40 tons, there is a gripper crane and two hook capable of lifting up to 50 tons, in addition, there are 5 presses of between 1,000 and 2,500 tons of pressure to mold the blades and it is the first plant to implement an anti-collision and anti-grieving system in the cranes.

Bodywork: Cuautitlán is Ford's first global plant to use the machine vision system. In addition, it has 190 Fanuc-type robots with next-generation dimensional localization systems, allowing 90% of this process to be automated.

Painting: The unit is cleaned with Zirconium and prepared for the application of the Ecoat, which gives it corrosion resistance while giving the leveling needed to the surface to receive the paint. Similarly, a new liquid application process of noise insulators is incorporated, as well as two-tone paint for the units.

Assembly: The area is divided into two parts: Trim, where the interiors of the unit are installed, and Chassis that takes care of the exterior parts as well as mechanics. The new line of high voltage batteries has 75% automatic processes. Finally, it takes 7 hours and 247 people for each shift for a vehicle to be completed at a rate of 20 units per hour.

"Ford of Mexico and the Cuautitlán Izcalli plant carry Mustang's DNA since having produced this model in the 80s, and now with the Mustang Mach-E we return to the production of the family of their most iconic vehicle. CSAP is ideal for carrying out this transformation for its quality and proven efficiency over the years," said Enrique Araiza, director of manufacturing. "On the other hand, being a vehicle focused on the global market, Mexico is strategic thanks to its privileged location."

Mustang Mach-E

Since the original Mustang took the world by surprise in 1964, it quickly represented the best of the American spirit: freedom, progress, rapid performance, and a touch of rebellion.

Mustang Mach-E, Ford's first electric SUV, in extended-range all-wheel drive configurations, now ranges from 332 to 459 horsepower and 417 to 612 lbs. – torque foot**. In addition, the electric pony will integrate for the first time some technologies and modes of handling that make it the most innovative of Ford.

In terms of battery life, you'll have standard and extended range battery options with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive powered by permanent magnet motors. Equipped with an extended range battery and rear-wheel drive, it has an estimated range of at least 480 km.*

"As part of our evolution, Ford's vision has been completely transformed for several years, which is why we announced a year ago the arrival of our first electric SUV that not only adapts to be more environmentally friendly, but, that does not leave aside the athletic performance that people are looking for," added Marcos Pérez, director of product development.

The manufacture of Ford's first electric SUV also commemorates the country's importance to the brand globally and, above all, the 95 years of presence in Mexican territory that is reinforced by the innovation that arrives in Mexico to transform the mobility of the world and deliver products that allow them to go further.

Hmmm 20 per hour, all that talk of different areas, the paint is way better than tesla, have the same vision system as ktp .hmmm. wonder who said will be about 26 an hour when they get rolling and said 20 per hour now?
?
Also
ChasingCoral Do your math now. 2 shifts 10 hour each 5 days a week. lets just go with 20 an hour. It will be 26 by November 26th is all goes right. So u could even if "you" like do a what could be then.

Demos are getting cranked out left and right and getting close to being done with them.
There will be some production cars getting made before the 26th how many I don't know.

Anyone feels hurt by the mache drop. Sorry that it was not as easy of a process as it should have been, but was more like a video game hidden item. They were all to be made first is what we all heard but it came down to the process of labor and running certain units down the line. The build order for the workers.
But since no one was told that was the way it was to be really no one would have known. I did try to pass on info on it. More than just me knew what was said and how it was going to be Different places all over. Just sometimes things change, nothing goes as planned. Have to remember there is ford involved and also a union.

I just want to know what is up with Mache Vlog always ever-changing hair color. Nothing wrong with it. My son has autism and whenever I watch his videos he gets a kick out of it. Didn't know if there was a reason.

More eye candy for you fellow mache fans.

if there is any part in these videos you see inside the plant you like info on. Just screenshot it and ask.

 

[jhalkias]

Thanks for all this! Really interesting!

 

[PSaulet]

Should we include 400 vehicles per day x 5 days / week or about 8,600 Mach E per month ?

Coming right up -- I like those numbers!

Dog and pony show. show up eat cake shake hands.

I want cake

Wait, really?
2*10*5*20 = 2,000 cars per week now
and
2*10*5*26 = 2,600 cars per week after November 26th.

Can that be right? I thought the earlier *hope* was around 1,000 per week?

Info like this seems awesome, but if true, where are all those Mach-E's going for a lot of us to have build weeks well into December?

That is the plan. How close they get each day we will see

 

[ChasingCoral]

Like I said, I really like those numbers. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a typo!

 

[PSaulet]

Which seems to be closer to the normal production capacities of a factory !!!

 

[ChasingCoral]

That is the plan. How close they get each day we will see

That rate should crank out all the FCTP orders (~2,000) in just over a week then.

I am confused by his reference to 2 shifts for 10 hours; were they 10 hours followed by 10 hours, or overlapping so the total time cars are being built per day is 10 hours?
