.
In order to put it into production faster, Ford Motor and 3M have integrated their resources to make full use of existing parts to produce protective masks
.
These include small fans for seat ventilation in Ford F-150 seats, 3M HEPA air filters that filter pollutants such as droplets of virus particles, and up to 8 hours of power for protective masks portable rechargeable battery pack
.
Ford Motor is currently evaluating a new electric air-purifying mask at its Michigan plant to help 3M expand its production capacity tenfold
.
In addition, at the request of relevant U.
S.
government departments, Ford is also cooperating with GE Healthcare to simplify the design and expand production capacity of GE Healthcare's medical ventilator products for the treatment of patients with respiratory failure and dyspnea
.
In addition to GE Healthcare's production facilities, the ventilators can also be manufactured at Ford's plants
