The Mondeo Energi, to be launched in early 2018, will be Ford's first plug-in hybrid in China and the first to be built by the Changan Ford JV.
Ford has also confirmed plans to bring to China an all-new fully electric small SUV with a range of more than 450 kilometres within five years.
To address growing demand for EVs, Ford says it will offer a comprehensive range of electrified solutions – hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fully battery-powered electric vehicles – to Chinese consumers by 2025. By then, Ford says 70% of all Ford nameplates will have electrified powertrain options, including the full range of nameplates produced by Changan Ford.
China is the world's largest 'new energy vehicle' market and – according to the Society of Automotive Engineers – new energy vehicles will account for over 15% of passenger vehicle sales in China by 2025.
