Sharjah24 - Reuters: Ford Motor F.N will halt production of its F-150 Lightning electric vehicle pickup trucks for six weeks from Nov. 18 to Jan. 6, the Dearborn automaker said on Thursday.
Ford's U.S. plants are closed for a holiday week in December.
"We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability," a Ford spokesperson said.
Ford has been scaling back its EV plans, saying in August it was killing a planned three-row electric SUV and pushing back a new electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup.
The company has instead thrown more investment into hybrid vehicles, which combine an electric motor with a gasoline engine.
