Ford Motor Co. will end production of its C-Max MPV and eliminate one of three shifts at its assembly plant in Saarlouis, Germany, at the end of June.
Saarlouis has produced the C-Max (pictured) since 2003, except between 2010 and 2014, when production moved to Ford’s factory in Valencia, Spain.
The carmaker says it intends to shed more than 5,000 jobs at its German factories in Saarlouis and Cologne. The cuts are part of a regional effort to turn Ford’s European operations into a sustainably profitable business.
