Ford Motor Co. says it plans to invest about $135 million to expand its Rawsonville engine parts plant in Ypsilanti, MI, primarily for the production of next-generation fuel injectors, electric fuel pumps, alternators and throttle body assemblies (including intake manifolds). Approximately half of the investment will be used to build a new assembly line to produce an improved fuel injector beginning in 1998.
