Ford India to drop Mahindra engines from its future products, to rely on own engines and products
Source: Economic Times India
Having called off its proposed joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra, US carmaker Ford India is likely to rely on its own set of engines and products to define the future footprint in India. The company has asked its vendors to hold work on the two upcoming projects BX744 and BX772 till August 2021, as it finalizes the new powertrains from within the Ford world. In a recent communication, the company informed that future compact SUVs – BX744 and BX772 will be managed internally. The shift from Mahindra’s engine to its own would mean Ford India’s projects – BX772 – Hyundai Creta rival and BX 744 – the new sub-4 metre SUV slated for 2022-2023 may get delayed by six months. Ford, as per several sources close to the development, is also re-evaluating alternatives for CSUV and likely to go with one of their own products like Territory than rely on a Mahindra product in any way.In the interim, the company will announce many refreshes including one for EcoSport where plans to include Mahindra’s G12 powertrain has been dropped.

Summary List Placement The National Labor Relations Board ruled Thursday that Tesla repeatedly violated labor laws by trying to prevent workers from organizing and discussing working conditions. In a 3-2 vote, the NLRB found Tesla broke the law by “coercively interrogating” workers engaged in legally protected organizing activities, using gag orders to prevent them from talking to the media, and firing union activist Richard Ortiz in 2017 (the board ordered Tesla to rehire the worker). Tesla did not respond to a request for comment on this story. The NLRB also ruled CEO Elon Musk “unlawfully threatened” workers in a 2018 tweet and must remove it. “Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when plant was UAW & everybody already gets healthcare,” Musk said in the tweet . US labor law allows companies to claim bad things could happen if workers unionize, but it doesn’t allow them to punish workers if they do unionize.
