[Production of Ford's first European-built electric car
is to start later this year.]

[Ford has announced that 1,300 jobs,
a fifth of the workforce, is being cut from its
UK business as part of a Europe-wide overhaul.

The majority of the UK losses will be at
the Ford site in Dunton, Essex - its UK
headquarters and technical centre.

Up to 1,000 jobs are to be axed
at the location with the remaining 300 to come
from administrative roles spread across
the remaining five sites.

Production staff at Dagenham, Halewood
and Daventry are to be unaffected.
Ford has two other sites in
the UK: in Stratford, east London - where software
is worked on - and Southampton,
where Ford transport operations are situated.

The cuts are being made as part of a plan
to cull 3,800 jobs across Europe over
the next three years.]
