history
The company was founded in September 1995.
The factory in Hải Dương started production in November 1997. It has a theoretical annual capacity of 14,000 units.
With 105 million US dollars, Ford Vietnam was the most financially strong automobile manufacturer in Vietnam after Honda Vietnam in 2017.
Models
Although Ford Vietnam works closely with Ford Australia and both companies share the markets, so far mainly Ford models from European and Australian in-house production have been offered there. Ford Australia is currently even setting up its own dealer network in Vietnam.
When the transit was replaced by the new generation in Europe, the company simply revised its range and even added long versions and minibuses for up to 16 people to its range, which could accommodate up to 16 people. These achieved high sales figures, especially in the People's Republic of China , but this generation was only produced until 2003 and replaced by the current generation of models.
In October 2000 Ford Vietnam finally presented the electric motor scooter TH! NK e.GO , of which only 12 units were built and sold. In the summer of 2001 the Ford Ranger was introduced, which as a sister model to the Mazda B series made a name for itself as an all-purpose vehicle. In October, the model range was completed with the Ford Escape SUV . In April 2002 Ford introduced a new generation of the Ford Lynx, which is a sister model of the Taiwanese Ford Tierra and looks comparable to the European Ford Mondeo . In the same year, the assembly of the Ford F-Series Super Duty series as Ford Western began . The next model came on the market for the 100th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company, the Ford Mondeo VN , which, however, had only a limited resemblance to the European namesake.
