Bit of UAW-VW news from Jack Walsworth:

.UAW President Shawn Fain made waves with his fashion choices (like a “Eat the Rich” tshirt) during last fall’s strike against the D3. He’s making another statement tonight at the 2024 Democratic National Convention:

.Ford Motor Company today also reiterated plans to build a commercial EV van at OHAP in 2026. To be clear, this is not the compact, Maverick-based van it just showed dealers. That's hybrid/gas & expected to go in Mexico. AN previously reported the OHAP van will be a next-gen E-Transit.

Scooplet within this story: Ford Motor Company has described to dealers the battery of its upcoming low-cost EV platform as being integrated into the vehicle chassis. They've been shown renderings of sedan, crossover & pickup body styles in in a mix of 4- and 6-seat configurations.
