Ford India rolled out its last car, EcoSport, from its plant near Chennai on Wednesday fulfilling all its export commitments ahead of the formal closure of the unit.
Ford India spokesperson to an email query said: “We thank all the employees for their support in completing the B515 export vehicle production. We will continue to have a limited number of employees supporting FCSD parts production. Thereafter, the company will take the necessary next steps for plant closure.”
The Ford EcoSport, in its launch, took the Indian automobile industry by storm. From being extremely well received for its looks when it was launched in 2012 in New Delhi, followed by the official introduction on June 26, 2013, Ford shocked the market by launching it at a price of ₹5.59 lakh. It has been one of the most-exported cars in Ford India’s line-up.
