Ford announces ambitious China electrification strategy and confirms 2 new EVs for China

Ford has announced two new electrified vehicles as part of its China electrification plan — the Mondeo Energi plug-in hybrid and an all-new fully electric small SUV with an estimated range of more than 450 kilometers
The Mondeo Energi will be locally manufactured in China next year through Ford’s Changan Ford joint venture; this is in addition to the China-produced Mondeo Hybrid that went on sale late last year
By 2025, Ford will provide a comprehensive range of electrified vehicles in China with plans to electrify 70 percent of all Ford cars sold, including the full range of Ford models produced by the Changan Ford JV
Ford will begin locally manufacturing electrified powertrains by 2020 in line with its commitment to bring the best global technology to China and will expand its electrified powertrain engineering capabilities in Nanjing, China, to support its growing electrified lineup and the development of next generation EV technologies
