Sales of Ford's large SUVs are a bright spot of news on a company that has had to make some cuts.
Ford is boosting production of its Expedition and Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicles and will be adding 550 new jobs at its Kentucky Truck Plant where it assembles the vehicles, the company said Tuesday.
The move indicates strong demand for the SUVs, which are based on the same platform and share many of the same features and parts. The move also comes as Ford mulls cutbacks in its workforce elsewhere, particularly among salaried workers in the U.S. and different roles abroad, particularly in Europe. The automaker said on March 15 it plans to cut about 5,000 jobs in Germany and an unspecified number in the United Kingdom. It also plans an unspecified number of cuts to its salaried U.S. workforce later this year. Ford said in 2018 it is undertaking an $11 billion plan to restructure its business and improve performance.
