Ford Motor Co. is delaying the rollout of an electric three-row sport utility vehicle by two years, extending the layoff of 2,700 workers in Canada who were set to begin building it in 2025.
The automaker said in a statement Thursday it is “retiming” the big SUV EV to debut in 2027 to “allow for the consumer market for three-row EVs to further develop.” In addition, the carmaker said that deliveries of its electric F-Series pickup would push back into 2026 from late 2025.
