Jiangling Motors

How are you going?

It sounds pretty impressive.

You see them on the road all the time.

They're a pretty big seller in the van market.

But Ford will be bringing in these from their Chinese joint venture, JMC.

They've got a 33% holding in JMC.

Ford is looking to China, not merely as a market to sell their cars, but as a base from which to sell cars into Europe.

It's built in China through Ford's joint venture with Jiangling Motors.

It uses a monocoque platform, and Australia is expected to receive the extended range electric version.

In Chinese specification, the EREV combines a 1.5 liter turbo petrol generator with a 43.7 kilowatt hour battery.
