"DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford Motor Co on Tuesday will start regular manufacturing of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck, more than tripling planned annual production of the vehicle that now symbolizes the 118-year-old company's drive to retool for a new century.

Ford will mark the "Job One" ceremony for the Lightning with a webcast set for Tuesday at 1:30 EDT. The event marks the sharp acceleration of the Lightning's assembly system at Ford's Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

Ford aims to build 150,000 Lightning trucks a year at the new part of its historic Rouge manufacturing complex while it builds a much larger electric vehicle production complex in Tennessee."
