Michigan Scores Green Jobs From Ford’s Hybrid Battery Packs

Earlier this year Ford hinted that they were keen to invest money in Michigan by consolidating car and hybrid battery pack production in the state. According to a letter sent to employees at Ford’s Rawsonville Plant in Ypsilanti Township, a hybrid battery facility has finally been chosen.
Ford made their plans known during the 2010 Auto Show in Detroit but didn’t reveal any specific details outside of a possible 0 million investment. They were most likely waiting for word from the state government that was keen to bring skilled and green jobs to the state. Later that month, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved 8 million in tax breaks to help Ford set up hybrid battery pack operations.
The Rawsonville Components Plant has a long history with Ford dating back to the 1950′s. It employed more than 2,600 people in the 1980′s and currently employs 780. The shift to green technology may be because items the plant produces like carbon canisters and starters are losing money for the company.
The letter sent to plant employees doesn’t contain a lot of details but does confirm that they will supply “hybrid battery packs to the Michigan Assembly Plant.” Ford and the UAW are still hammering out details such as production scheduling and staffing issues. There isn’t any word yet on the number of new jobs for the plant, but the Detroit Free Press estimates as many as 1,000 new positions may be added statewide because of Ford’s 0 million investment.
The prospect of new jobs is welcome news to any community in Michigan with the current economic climate. Yipsilanti Township was set to lose two more auto plants this year, including GM’s powertrain facility.
Ford’s go may have been tied to the tax breaks offered by the state but they are also listening to their customers. In 2009, overall hybrid sales were down 11% but Ford saw a 67% increase in their hybrid sales over 2008.

How long should a compact digital camera last?
Last week, Executive Editor David Carnoy posted a poll about how long you should be able to use a smartphone without really needing to upgrade. That was mostly about how many years you should get before your mobile device’s technology is woefully outdated. With digital cameras, though, I’m more concerned with how long the thing will really function.
