Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>American automaker Ford Motor Company announced Friday it will reduce the production of its top-selling electric pickup in the US, F-150 Lightning, to have the optimal balance of production, sales growth and profitability.<\/p>\n

The company said it expects continued growth in global electric vehicle (EV) sales this year, but less than previously anticipated, adding it is planning to launch next-generation EVs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are taking advantage of our manufacturing flexibility to offer customers choices while balancing our growth and profitability,\u201d Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Ford was the second highest-selling EV brand last year, while F-150 Lightning\u2019s sales were up 55% in 2023, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

The Michigan-based company also said it will create nearly 900 new jobs and add a third crew at its Michigan Assembly Plant to increase production of Bronco and Bronco Raptor sport-utility vehicles and the all-new Ranger and Ranger Raptor pickups.<\/p>\n
