Earlier, we posted about the Ford facility tour and Driving Skills for Life session, which we organized recently for select auto bloggers. Here is a sneak peek into the Ford manufacturing facility. The video starts with a visit at the Blanking facility where sheets of steel are cut into ‘blanks’ or shapes of the car’s body , according to specifications. It then moves on to the Stamping unit , where the blanks are moulded into specific car body components such as doors, hood, roof etc. Then, it is moved to the Body Shop where 66 robots spot weld the ‘stamped’ sections of the cars, followed by the Paint Shop where the cars are painted in the vibrant colours. Finally, the tour moves on to the Trim Chassis and Finish (TCF) where the engines, doors and seats as well as other electrical parts are fitted in the cars before they finally roll out for stringent quality tests. We also have a sneak peek of the delivery yard where your favourite Figos are parked after production, ready for final checks before they are dispatched to the dealers. The video ends with a snippet of Driving Skills for Life training, about safe and economical driving, conducted through classroom and practical sessions.
