Ford may export U.S built cars (CN)

Ford has said it�s delving into whether it should export its U.S produced vehicles to China. Normally, U.S built cars don�t travel any further than Canada, however, Ford has allegedly signed a contract to discover the opportunity.

�Ford Motor Company is evaluating opportunities to import vehicles to China from the U.S, subject to our business plan and to Chinese regulatory approvals governing vehicle imports,� Ford said.

Ford is growing its efforts via various joint ventures with Changan , Mazda and Jiangling. Despite arriving late to the Chinese market, Ford is currently constructing a $300m joint factory with Jiangling.

There is no word on what models will arrive in China, but we expect to see the Edge crossover among the line-up.
