Ford Cars India

Ford Motor Company ranks among the premier US automakers. Founded by Henry Ford, this car manufacturer also has under its belt global brands such as Volvo, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury. Ford is credited with the introduction of processes of large-scale manufacturing along assembly lines. With a range spanning the sporty Ikon – the Josh Machine, the fuel efficient Fiesta and the SUV Endeavour, Ford Motors India has made considerable inroads into the domestic market.

The Ford Ikon has been in the market for a long time and has seen variants such as the 1.3 Flair and the 1.8 ZXi. It offers features such as side impact beams and monocoque body. Ford Fiesta made news with its extremely fuel efficient ROCAM engine. Features such as dual airbags and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) make for safer driving on Indian roads.

Over a century old, Ford Motor Company entered into a joint venture with Mahindra and Mahindra. Later in 1998, it was rechristened as Ford India Limited. With a modern integrated manufacturing unit at Chennai, Ford cars are all set for the Indian roads, with a small car on the anvil by 2010.
