Ford has plans to get a new small car for the Indian car market in early 2010. About 85% of the car parts are localized. Ford India has designed this car especially for the Indian car market and it will be available in petrol and diesel variants.
After talking to Michael Boneham, President and Managing Director, Ford India, he commented that the small car will share the platform with its European and Australian sibling. The company is already testing about 300 protos. The car could have a 1.2 litre petrol engine to get the excise cut and probably a 1.5 litre diesel engine.
