When the final Falcon rolls down the line in October 2016, thus will end Ford's involvement in building cars in Australia.

But though the foundries in Geelong and the assembly line in Broadmeadows will fall silent, one fact that tends to get overlooked is that the company will continue to be a development and design hub for the American auto giant, post-2016.

In fact, local boss Bob Graziano says Ford will be the largest automotive employer in Australia once it, Toyota and Holden cease local production - a goal he reiterated at the company's recent Innovation For Millions Event In Broadmeadows.

Ford Australia is the mature product development centre in Ford's Asia Pacific region, and one of only three such centres in Ford's global network - the others being Cologne in Germany and Ford's home office in Dearborn, Michigan.
