Henry Ford personally is said to have chosen the location of the Ford factory in Cologne Niehl. Today over 1,000 new cars are assembled here every day. Over 1200 industrial robots complete the tasks, where once factory workers stood side by side along the assembly line. 18,000 employees keep the facility running, which is like a mini city on the outskirts of Cologne. Located directly on the Rhine, the new cars are exported to over 60 nations. #freedocumentary
That's the FORD who humiliated TATA back in 2000 and in 2010 the TATA could have done the same with them. But RATAN TATA he is a great man. Now FORD is all gone from INDIA. that's karma. Never show off be simple
Its just amazing how much infrastructure is required to run a business like this. Just think of the costs of machinery, materials, labor, bills, taxes..etc. its almost a miracle that companies make a profit at all with all of this overhead.
As an Industrial Electrical Maintenance Tech, I am extremely disappointed in the fact that y'all made a FOURTY-FIVE MINUTE documentary about one of the world's largest manufacturing facilities and didn't say one thing about the Maintenance team that keeps it running. You know, the team that works ALL of the hours that NO ONE else wants to work, doing one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, performing the duties NO ONE else will or in many cases even can do.
Try earning a certificate at community college first and then start applying for trade jobs. Ford and many other companies want to see some sort of commitment/interest in technical work.
I love this Mega factories series very much. Sadly it has not been uploaded regularly as compared to other categories . Now when it has arrived it's a feast for the eyes and entrepreneurialistic vibes 🤩🤩
I love how the scrap is saved and sold back to a steel producer to be used in other builds. We've become good at reducing waste in SOME areas of our planet.
I worked at an auto manufacturer for 13 years. Spent most of my time in the paint department and the last couple of years in quality. It's amazing how cars are made and that robots do most of the work
I loved my 2013 Fiesta. It had everything I needed, yet the transmission and the TCM was the bane and weak link of my Ford freedom. Was in the shop more times than on the road. Then, the transmission finally imploded on the way to work, and I finally had it scrapped after having it for 5.5 yrs of Midwest mile madness of 4 season road wrah. Have I driven a Ford? YES! And I would never drive or own one again, even though I live in Ford country/Michigan
That was a wonderfully in-depth tour of a true mega factory. I know economies of scale mean that it costs the manufacturer less per unit when they maximise production, but Ford have invested so much money, and developed so much technology that they deserve what they get - you reap what you sow. Could you imagine making a car from scratch! Thank you.
great video, really loved the behind-the-scenes look at the Ford factory! it's amazing to see how much automation is used. but honestly, i wonder if this reliance on machines is starting to take away too many jobs for people in the long run. what do you think?
i visited the plant in Daganam England and saw fiestas being made, it was an amazing experience, i saw everything from panels being stamped from sheet metal and the bodys being dipped and painted to engine assembly.
I visited the plant is Essex. Well, it was over 40 years ago. But then you could see real cars, thick steel, real engines, especially V6. Real art. Today it is just a producing of cheap plastic junk. As a lifetime Ford fan, I am sad to say this.

2:12 someone goofed on the editing floor and reversed the footage. Only time I’ve seen a Ford go that fast backwards was when it was attached to a wrecker.
I'm a lifelong ford owner who's had north of 20 fords and it hurts to say I'll probably leave the brand when I replace my current car (no plans to do so in the near future) as I will be forced to do so to get another V6, its gonna be sad leaving a brand I love to avoid a turbo engine.
@@stevefox3763 ive only been driving 12 years but I've squeezed 8 fords into that time. I definitely wouldn't buy anything from ford these days. My absolute dream car would be a MK2 Focus RS but given their rising prices I doubt I'd ever get the chance lol.
@@daveytn ive been driving for 25 years and went though a lot of cars in the first 10 years but have kept hold of motors a lot longer in the last 15 years as ive had cars i like and also not killed them because they have all been V6's and cope with having their necks run on a daily basis lol.
Why no mention of the Dagenham PTA plant,I worked there for 35 years till they stopped production in 2000. It was a great place to work,wish I could turn the clock back
I feel bad for them, considering the quants family used slave labor from the concentration camp's where thousands died. Nice they could try and white wash the blood on their hands. God is the only one who inspires people through the redemptive blood of His Son.
That’s why these companies got in trouble to begin with 30-40 billion in debt a drop in sales and they can’t pay their bills. but it was hugely profitable when someone did some work around the place
Germans manufacturing is definitely on the top of the list when compared to the rest of the world. I've ran German built machines for years and worked with many of their training people. Very in depth documentary 👌
I think, one of the reasons to use robot in car manufacturing is timing. Because all workers work at a production line and have a given time to complete. If one employee become late to finish given duty, conveyor of cars can't move, thus other workers can't start to assemble parts to the next cars. One worker could delay 100 workers by being late for example. Timing is not an issue for robots...
Its amazing how far we have come. But what happens when all these cars are sitting rotting away after they are out dated? And they say the water we drink isn't contaminated. 😆
Very much interested to see how the famous industry of a well known Hendry Fort make their cars. I think Fort vehicles are used in every part of the planet and they are very unigue in design. Very well documented and shooting from you guys. Keep it up.
The real Ford is over 20 years gone. Today it is just a plant for mass production of plastic crappy toys from cheapest material that will last for few years only, then scrap it and buy new. Just like every todays manufacturers, not only Ford.

I love how everyone in cologne smells so nice.
Ford is a great car company, we provide adhesive, thermal management and other solutions for cars
Its just amazing how much infrastructure is required to run a business like this. Just think of the costs of machinery, materials, labor, bills, taxes..etc. its almost a miracle that companies make a profit at all with all of this overhead.
Well, the cars ain’t cheap either.
@@majie1018 word. The cars cost maybe $5000USD to produce when it retails at $30000USD. It evens out
@@leonv7716 but it takes billions in R&D to get it at that production cost.
@@dpt4402 you're right, they also have to produce a lot of cars to keep the costs low. If they made 3 cars a year it'd cost significantly more
@@leonv7716 still you get decent cars for the 30.000USD/23500GBP here in the uk,
I love ford cars😍😍
Me gustó mucho, GRACIAS.

We are the forgotten force!! We are the black magic dept
That is not true I have been trying to get into skilled trades at ford for years and they won’t hire me
Try earning a certificate at community college first and then start applying for trade jobs.

Thank you for your service.
Excited to watch, love henry ford. And love your documentarys they are produced so well, thankyou!
It’s our pleasure and thanks for stopping by to let us know!
i love his book the international jew
The docs are always fun to watch,educative and free,couldnt ask for more
Amazing Ford. Thank you so much for the Master degree scholarship I had received from Ford.
Hello 👋
What would documentarians do without football fields and olympic swimming pools to measure things by? Someone should invert a numerical system.
Learnt a lot out of this, more respect for Ford now.

An interesting historical document. In ten years I wonder how many will work here.
Perfect question! Probably none because they're being replaced with illegal immigrants

As someone who owns a Ford Fiesta, it's nice to see the entire production process from start to finish 👍
🤣🤣, you are so proud of that go kart.
I loved my 2013 Fiesta.

Wow crazy how much automation is used to make these cars. Workers probably have a very easy job aside from standing for long hours.
Simply Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first car was a 1978 Ford Fiesta Ghia... I dig it the most. 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!
Ford is among the best!!!
Lets go Free Documentary🙂👍
@23:13 The A/F mixture does not explode, it combusts. There is a fundamental difference between the two phenomena. A manager should know this.
2:12 someone goofed on the editing floor and reversed the footage. Only time I’ve seen a Ford go that fast backwards was when it was attached to a wrecker.
Good eye haha!
Some pixel loving
Great job.
love the videos about production of cars and other industries involved thanks free documentary team.
Ford Germany the best.

working hard at Ford KCAP 💪🇺🇲
Competitive to keep the profit margin high and them rich.
Great documentary! At the same time, I learn English. 👍
"And that is: the "Furniture & Robotics"😏 that was "Impressive & Breathing" we'll done 🙂job well done ☺️
Hot dip galvanized the best,not seen in this video?
Pretty soon those 16,000 employees Is gonna be in the hundreds.
Amazing see me from india♥️♥️

Why no mention of the Dagenham PTA plant,I worked there for 35 years till they stopped production in 2000. It was a great place to work,wish I could turn the clock back
The souls of the workers in the internal combustion engine factory are guided by the spirit of the creator of Mercedes Benz.
I feel bad for them, considering the quants family used slave labor from the concentration camp's where thousands died. Nice they could try and white wash the blood on their hands. God is the only one who inspires people through the redemptive blood of His Son.
It would be awesome if the informations in that screen 39:22 is available in the internet.
This factory alone would probably cost billions of dollars..
That’s why these companies got in trouble to begin with 30-40 billion in debt a drop in sales and they can’t pay their bills. but it was hugely profitable when someone did some work around the place
The entire process was exciting and mind blowing.
Fully
Outstanding
Repeated
Delight
Ford is Bold.
they might have all them awards but they need a award for rust as fords are well known for there rust
I work at North American Lighting and we make s550, s550 mca, ECE and SAE, headlamps and also several other models, such as f-150 and raptor
Nice video
Awesome
Lovely documentary. Keep them coming
Love from Nepal 🥰❤️❤️

Ford Europe makes the best autos. They need to send those to the US and replace all of the US lineup.
wow
There building blue oval city now in TN. I'm excited to see how it looks
Never had a Ford now I need 40000
i love ford please come in india
No way... Tata rules there

Now I'm thinking about buying a Fiesta
Maybe if humans assembled the engines, they would last more than 20k miles...
If humans assemble engines it wont last 2k miles
Its amazing how far we have come. But what happens when all these cars are sitting rotting away after they are out dated? And they say the water we drink isn't contaminated. 😆

35:44 Why is the guy wearing a watch and has metal parts on the wrist? Thats not correct! and also he has a tool (exposed metal) in the bag. 😒
The car is too large, they need to make a smaller unit. Too big.
Too large? Are you serious? It looks good the way it is
