U.S. automaker Ford Motor plans to invest $1.2 billion in three plants in Michigan in a move that will add up to 130 new jobs.
The company intends to commit over $850 million to upgrade its assembly plant to build the midsize pickup Ford Ranger beginning in 2018, as well as the Bronco beginning in 2020.
Ford is also planning to spend over $150 million to upgrade a plant outside Detroit known as Romeo Engine Plant.
The plant will operate two shifts unless the demand calls for them to add a third shift.
