6 July 2010: Ford India has begun the export of its compact car Ford Figo from its Chennai plant.
The first consignment of 1,200 Figos has been flagged off to Durban, South Africa, from the Chennai port recently. There is an order for 5,000 Figos from South Africa. Ford India will export the 1.4-litre petrol and diesel Figo variants to Ford Motor Company of South Africa. Ford India has commenced its second shift at the company's plant in Maraimalai Nagar near Chennai to meet the increasing demand for Figo. This will increase the production capacity of the small car by 30-40 per cent.
