Ford is committed to India and this alliance can help us deliver the best vehicles and services to customers while profitably growing in the world’s fifth largest vehicle market,

said Jim Farley, Ford executive vice president and president of Global Markets.

Our two companies have a long history of cooperation and mutual respect. The memorandum of understanding we have signed today with Mahindra will allow us to work together to take advantage of the changes coming in the auto industry. The enormous growth potential in the utility market and the growing importance of mobility and affordable battery electric vehicles are all aligned with our strategic priorities.

Dr. Pawan Goenka, managing director, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd elaborated:

The changes facing the automotive industry globally are triggered by the accelerated rise of new technologies, sustainability policies and new models of urban shared mobility. Given these changes we see the need to anticipate new market trends, explore alternatives and look for ways to collaborate even as we compete and build powerful synergies that will allow rapid exploitation of the exciting new opportunities. Today’s announcement builds on the foundation laid through our past partnership with Ford and will open opportunities for both of us.

Mahindra has been leading the utility vehicles segment in India for the past seven decades. The spirit of
ingenuity has driven Mahindra to be amongst the few global companies pioneering the development of
clean and affordable technology, and is the only player with a portfolio of electric vehicles commercially
available in India. Expanding its global presence, Mahindra owns majority stake in Ssangyong Motor
Company in Korea, has forayed into the shared mobility space with investments in ride sharing platforms
in the USA, and is developing products like the GenZe – the world’s first electric connected scooter.
Ford was among the first global automakers to enter India in 1995. Now one of the largest exporters of
cars from the country, Ford manufactures and exports vehicles and engines from its manufacturing
facilities in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Sanand, Gujarat. India is also the second-largest Ford employee
base globally, with more than 14,000 people working across the Ford India or Global Business Services
operations in New Delhi, Chennai, and Coimbatore.
