ROMEO, Mich., May 15, 2003 – Ford Motor Company today announced an investment of $192 million in its Romeo Engine Plant as part of its plan to introduce more powerful, yet cleaner and more fuel-efficient versions, of its award-winning Modular V-8 engines.

With this investment, Ford continues its move to a new global flexible manufacturing system to build engines and transmissions. At the Romeo plant, Ford will install a new cylinder-head line and convert an existing engine assembly line to produce a new 4.6-liter 3-valve per cylinder V-8 engine.

“We are building a network of flexible powertrain plants that can respond quickly to changing market needs, while improving quality and manufacturing efficiency,” said Roman Krygier, group vice president, Global Manufacturing and Quality, Ford Motor Company. “The launch of this new 4.6-liter 3-valve V-8 will continue our push into flexible manufacturing and gives the Romeo Engine Plant a strong future.”

The new 4.6-liter, 3-valve V-8 engine will power a variety of future Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, including sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and passenger cars. Production will begin at Romeo by the end of 2005.
