US car producer Ford wants
to sell over 100,000 units per year from its new Ford EcoSport model, which the
company will start producing in its Craiova plant on October 12, reports
0-100.hotnews.ro
.
The sales target is double
compared to the sales volume of Ford B-MAX, another model produced in Craiova,
whose production was discontinued this year.
The new EcoSport will be
built in Craiova, following a EUR 200 million investment.
In 2020, the US producer
will launch an electric Ford crossover. The company still has to decide where
it will produce it. Ford may decide to produce it in several factories across
the world, Ford Europe vice president Roelant de Vaard said.
