Better pray allah is british minded.
Engines made in Dagenham are shipped to Ford’s plant in Turkey where they are put in Transit vans, many of which are then sold back to UK customers. Ford previously assembled the Transit in the UK but it*closed its Southampton factory in 2013, ending more than a century of vehicle assembly in Britain.
The UK government has given*Ford*£500m in loan guarantees shortly before the US carmaker closes one of its three British factories, with the loss of 1,700 jobs. Ford is closing its engine*plant in Bridgend, south Wales, in September, with the loss of 1,700 jobs.*
The government said the loan guarantee would support Ford exports, as well as helping it switch to electric vehicle manufacture, “safeguarding thousands of British jobs” at Ford’s Transit van design centre in Dunton, Essex, and its Dagenham diesel engine plant.
