Ford to move engine work from Spain to Ohio

Ford is moving production of a popular small engine from Spain to the Cleveland area as sales of four-cylinder engines rise.

Later this week, Ford is to announce a $200-million investment at its factory in Brook Park, Ohio, so it can make the four-cylinder, 2-liter EcoBoost engine, according to a person briefed on the matter. The move will add about 450 jobs at the factory that now employs about 1,300 hourly and salaried workers.

The factory now makes two larger six-cylinder engines.

The person didn't want to be identified because the official Ford announcement won't be made until today.
