BlueOval City is a planned automotive assembly complex near Stanton, Tennessee that will be operated by Ford Motor Company and SK Innovation. It is expected to be operational in 2025. The facility takes its name from Ford's logo. It will primarily consist of an automotive assembly plant to produce electric pickup trucks and a plant to manufacture electric vehicle batteries, as well as a battery recycling facility, suppliers, and a training center.[1][2]
