    Ford’s manufacturing plant near Chennai recently pushed out its last car.
    Employees decorated the EcoSport with flowers and tassels and bid a tearful farewell to the factory
    The Chennai Ford factory, operating for the past 25 years, was making losses for the last decade or so
    Its management announced its permanent closure, which led to an employees’ strike for more than 30 consecutive days last month
    The factory, which has shipped thousands of cars to India and abroad, is shutting down on July 31

    It was 2013 October at Durga puja , I bought Ecosport trend + Tdci ...I think at that time most Indian cars doesn't have Abs, Airbag , electronic Adjustable orvm, rear wiper...Forget about Ncap crash test Star rating 😂😂.. it's a Dream journey , it saves me a lot of times on Indian roads from some heavy drivers . Ecosport just glides on Roads , Handling is way way above it's price segment . Recently done full Body color , Changed all Tyres , Diesel filter , Suspension Bushing . And ready 👍 , Thanks Ford ...Ecosport is not just my Car , it's my Passion , my Attitude and Personality. 🙏

    When Ford introduced Model T back in 1908 it was a evolution back in those era. Even Soichiro Honda inspired from Model T to invent Honda motor Company. But Ford failed to keep up with India's automotive environment.

    Underestimate Indians
    No upgradation of cars
    Very less models
    Lack of marketing and offers
    Low at Torque and clutch getting hard after few kms
    All these led to less sales number. Safety was too good. Being a ford customer this is what I felt personally.

    Because they never care to adapt..
    They don't hv a local CEO but send own person to run it.even if they appoint one they don't give him flexibility to take decision.Nor trust him to work independently His only job is to implement.With this attitude how can they succeed?They make good cars but don't invest to create world class service centres.Waste crores in ads but don't train staff well or give them job stability.
