Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) must be expecting the 2013 Fusion (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fusion/) to be a hit when it arrives in showrooms this fall. As a way to make sure that demand won't outstrip production, Ford is investing $1.3 billion in its Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly facility. Hermosillo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermosillo_Stamping_%26_Assembly) currently employs over 3,300 workers, and as part of its investment, Ford will be adding 1,000 new jobs in order to handle production of the 2013 Fusion and its Lincoln MKZ (http://autoblog.com/lincoln/mkz) twin.
The Fusion, with its wide range of powertrains and exceptional fuel economy, has mainstream sedan-watchers eager for seat time, and the Lincoln MKZ will be a direct beneficiary of the work done on the Fusion. Ford isn't saying what its production capacity will be rising to after the upgrades are completed, but the company clearly wants to have enough available for every interested buyer.
