Ford finally confirmed in January it will bring back the Bronco (a concept version shown here).

Ford Motor Co. is expected to announce today that it will spend over $1 billion to expand and upgrade three plants in Michigan, an expansive program highlighted overnight in a tweet from President Donald Trump and detailed in a story in a local Detroit paper.

According to the Detroit News, however, the largest portion of that project involves an investment at the Michigan Assembly Plant in the Detroit suburb of Wayne, Michigan and was in the works well before the businessman-turned politician was elected president last year. The other investments are expected to support work at that plant.

As a candidate, Trump frequently criticized Ford over its decision to move small car production to Mexico, warning that he would take steps, as president, to penalize the automaker, including an import tax on Mexican-made vehicles. In January, however, Trump hailed Ford’s announcement that it was canceling a second Mexican plant – even though it was still going ahead with plans to move the compact Focus model to Mexico.

The Ford Focus is still moving to Mexico.

That move is part of a broader realignment of the automaker’s North American manufacturing footprint. It is expanding an underutilized factory in Flat Rock, Michigan, in part, by repurposing some of the cash it was to have spent on the second Mexican plant.

Today’s announcement primarily focuses on another suburban Detroit factory, according to the Detroit News, the Wayne, Michigan facility that, Ford revealed during the North American International Auto Show in January, will assemble two new truck models: the Bronco SUV and the Ranger pickup.

Those vehicles were actually in development for several years, as TheDetroitBureau.com had previously reported, as was the decision to move the trucks into the Michigan Assembly Plant. In fact, Ford had promised to spend $700 million on that factory as part of the four-year contract it signed with the United Auto Workers Union in autumn 2015.

It is unclear how many jobs will be saved, and if any new jobs will be created at the Wayne plant. Also unclear is what the impact will be at two other Michigan plants. That includes the Flat Rock assembly facility which Ford said in January would receive new investments, as well as an engine plant in Romeo, Michigan which apparently will provide powertrain components for the new truck models.

The Wayne, Michigan plant will convert from the Focus to produce two truck models.

The president’s tweet highlighting the planned Ford investment comes as little surprise. He has made it a priority for his administration to deliver new jobs, especially in manufacturing. That was a subject he highlighted during a meeting with the CEOs of Detroit’s Big Three automakers shortly after taking office. He raised the issue of U.S. investments again during a visit to suburban Detroit earlier this month that also brought out senior officials of numerous foreign-owned automakers., including Jim Lentz, the CEO of Toyota’s U.S. operations.

But, as with Trump’s claims about impacting Ford’s Mexican plant plans, observers caution that the president has been trying to take credit for decisions he actually didn’t influence. That includes a move by Charter Communications to bring 15,000 customer service workers back to the U.S., a project the company actually had put in place well before the 2016 election.
