Ford CEO says far fewer needed to make electric cars

The CEO of car and truck manufacturer Ford  Jim Farley said last week that making electric vehicles will mean 40 per cent fewer workers than required to build cars and trucks powered by petrol.

And most likely the CEO of Henry Ford knows a thing or two about the making of cars.

Farley traces his interest in the car industry back to his grandfather who began work at the Ford Rouge plan in Michigan in 1918.

He is also on the board on Harley-Davidson, which is one of two major US motorcycle companies to have survived the Great Depression.
