Amid uncertain future, Ford workers restart EcoSport production for exports

Chennai, Sep 18 (UNI) Amid uncertain future with the company deciding to
shut down its Chennai facility, Ford India workers has re-commenced the
production of EcoSport model to meet the export commitments.
The company has an export commitment of about 30,000 cars to be delivered
by the end of this year.
According to trade union office-bearers, production at the Chennai plant
is on as per schedule. However, the per day count of roll out of cars will
differ as it depends on the production schedule,” they said.
Since the company has a commitment to export about 30,000 cars by the end
of this year, the management has requested the workers to restart production
and promised to hold talks on its decision to shut down Chennai plant at
Maraimalainagar in the second quarter of 2022.
The management held two round of talks with the trade union members which
did not make any headway.
Chief Minister M K Stalin and Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu also
held discussions over the closure decision and the impact it would on its
employees, who have been facing an uncertain future.
The Chennai facility is the sole manufacturer of Ecosport model sold in the
US and the Aspire and Figo models sold in Mexico and South Africa.
Earlier, the company used to make Endeavour models at Chennai but has
stopped production recently.
“The workers involved in the making of Endeavour were asked not to come
to the plant for a week,” sources said.
