After Finishing Work On Next-Gen Ranger, Everest, Ford Lays Off 20 Percent Of Australia R&D
After finishing development of the next-generation Ranger and Everest, Ford just laid off 400 jobs or 20 percent from its Australian vehicle development and design departments., the downsizing is on top of the 170 already laid off last April. This is down to increased management pressure to cut costs and drive Ford’s global efficiency goals. Though unconfirmed, the jobs will be reportedly outsourced to India.
The job cuts come at a time when Ford said it would contribute more to future global development programs.. At the time, there were more than 2,500 personnel working in engineering, design, technical, and automotive specialist roles. Ford Australia is largely responsible not just for the next-generation Everest and Ranger, but other products for the Chinese, Indian, and South American markets including the Territory.
Despite the job cuts and outsourcing to India, Ford says Australia will remain the global design and development hub for the Ranger and Everest.
