What Next For Ford?

Posted by Waggin @ Thu May 23, 2013 6:53 pm

Ford Australia will continue to employ 1500 Australian workers even though the company won’t build cars here. Making the announcement to close the Broadmeadows and Geelong factories, Ford Australia president Bob Graziano confirmed the local operation would remain a global development centre beyond 2016.

With the writing on the wall for the locally-built Falcon and Territory models, Ford Australia has been taking on an increasing workload for design and engineering projects for global cars.

Ford Australia has confirmed it will close its Broadmeadows and Geelong production facilities in October 2016 and retire the Falcon nameplate in a move that will cost at least 1200 jobs.

GM and Ford join forces to develop world's first 10sp auto

Posted by Waggin @ Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:00 pm

The next-generation Holden Commodore, due in 2017, could have as many gears as your old Malvern Star as automotive enemies, Ford and General Motors, have joined forces to create the world's first ten-speed automatic transmission.

The American car giants have extended a previous joint-venture transmission program, which created a series of six-speed gearboxes, to develop both nine- and 10-speed automatics that will be suitable for cars, crossovers, SUVs and trucks.

Neither company has released detailed technical information on the gearboxes, but the companies have confirmed that development has already commenced and that they will be adapted to both front-, all- and rear-drive applications.
