Ford Motor Company has indefinitely laid off 300 United Auto Workers at its Romeo, Mich., plant, which assembles Ford’s Triton V8 motors. Ford cited rising fuel costs and decreased demand for V8-powered vehicles as the reason for the layoffs.
The Romeo Engine plant produces V8 engines for Ford’s Crown Victoria, E-Series, Mustang, Explorer and Expedition, among others. It also hand-builds the motors for Ford’s Shelby GT500.
