Changan Ford is the largest production unit for Ford outside its Detroit Michigan unit. Since 2012 Ford sunk around $2 billion into Changan Ford, most of the investment is associated with combustion production capital. Changan Ford is one of the latecomers to the Chinese EV sector.
Ford and the Chinese automaker Anhui Zotye
this week announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to
