Is it curry or dung? Ford and the Indian car company set up a joint venture.

In the Indian market hit hard by the COVID-19 epidemic, few car companies are doing well, especially Ford, and even before the epidemic, its sales have fallen sharply. To this end, Ford and Indian auto giant Ma Hengda set up a joint venture company to further deepen the cooperative relationship between the two sides. The 5 1% equity of the joint venture company is controlled by Ma Hengda, so its models are mainly Ma Hengda products, and the specific operation is also led by Ma Hengda. However, in order to improve the market performance of Ford brand, they decided to rename a medium-sized van named Marazzo owned by Ma Hengda as the market.

This Marazzo has a load-bearing body and front-wheel drive. It has a length of 4585mm and a wheelbase of 2760 mm It provides 2+2+3 and 2+3+3 seat layouts, which is somewhat similar to Wuling Hong Guang. In terms of design style, Ford will incorporate its own brand characteristics, and will be equipped with double airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, reversing images, reversing radar, automatic air conditioning, cruise control and other standard items. Then Ford will continue this route and sell the XUV500 owned by Ma Hengda. At the same time, EcoSport will also introduce Ma Hengda's 1.2T engine to replace the original 1.0T engine? Ecoboost three-cylinder machine.
