Ford India to Launch 8 New Car Models by 2015

With a view to tap the country’s fast growing auto market and make it an export hub, Ford India plans to launch eight brand new models in the country by 2015.

“The eight products would be ‘localised?as the company has to be there in the small car segment,” said Michael Boneham, Company Managing Director.

Boneham was also pleased with the response they received for the Figo hatchback. “We had a fantastic response from Figo with 30,000 cars sold in the first 25 weeks in India. The company plans to be a serious player in India and would continue to invest in India,”

Ford India will cater to markets like Mexico, northern Africa and 50 new markets including South Africa where Figo is among the top 10 players. “They are chasing us for more products but there are supply constraints”, Boneham said.

Heard about ford mini van to be launched. I would like to suggest them to launch this van within a couple of months, may be by Dec 2010. This segment is vast open as of now and with figo going crazy among motor lovers this van will play wondors. It should be apacious and should accomodate min. 7 passangers with a decent boot rooom. Hope ford will be looking on this seriously and planning to comeup by Dec. 2010
