Ford India starts engine exports to Thailand
16 June 2010: Ford India on 15 June 2010 started exporting 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre high-compression petrol engines from its Maraimalai Nagar plant to Thailand.
The first batch of engines was shipped out to AutoAlliance Thailand, a sister manufacturing plant. Ford has been exporting diesel power trains to South Africa since 2008. According to sources, the number of engines exported will increase to 2,500 per month and will continue to build as projected export demand gradually increased through the year-end and into 2011. In addition to the Thailand plant, Ford India will export engines to other Ford plants in Asia-Pacific.
