YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two Ford factories near Detroit will see 170 additional blue- collar jobs in the next two years as the automaker brings battery pack and gas-electric hybrid transmission assembly to the United States.
Ford said Monday that it will invest $135 million by 2012 at factories in Ypsilanti Township and Sterling Heights, Mich., to design, engineer and produce components for its next generation of hybrids and fully electric vehicles. About half the investment comes from a federal grant.
