Ford Motor Co. plans to ramp up production to meet growing demand.
The Dearborn, Mich.-based auto giant plans to idle its plants for one week this summer, as opposed to the usual two weeks, so it can produce an additional 40,000 units, according to a news release from the company.
The Kentucky Truck Plant on Chamberlain Lane, where Ford manufactures heavy-duty trucks, is listed among six assembly plants that will see a shorter-than-normal shutdown.
A report on Bloomberg BusinessWeek notes that there has been high demand for the company's F-Series trucks and compares Ford with its competitors.
