According to sources, Ford may launch the Mondeo in the first half of this year if the duty structure on CKD/SKD assembly kits and Completely-Built-Up units remains unchanged. It is not clear however whether Ford will opt for a low volume KD assembly operation or simply import the Mondeo from its Genk plant in Belgium.
