 | | The six-cylinder powerplants, built at the automaker's Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario, are produced in high volumes primarily for use in light-duty trucks. |
 | | Ford's plan to halt production of the iron-intensive V-6s at the Essex facility represents another tough blow to the ferrous scrap and iron foundry industries, which have experienced a decline in the North American automotive market for iron castings for more than two decades. |
 | | Ford's new V-6s initially will enter production at the company's engine plant in Lima, Ohio, at annual output rates of 325,000 units, increasing gradually in the ensuing years to at least twice that level. |
