Ford Mondeo: Departing Ford Mondeo two years deferred

Ford Mondeo. "Every disadvantage has its advantage" would be a Mr Cruyff said. But reverse is equally good. Earlier this week, Ford decided its plant in Genk, Belgium close to themselves forward to hedge against the declining European sales. This action has also led to the new Mondeo in late 2014 the band rolls.

A month ago, the staff of the Ford's Genk plant still breathe. After some concern about an alleged remediation they got from Detroit to hear that the construction of the new Mondeo anyway they were awarded. But yesterday was brought out that the factory gate still locked and that the construction of the new Mondeo is probably transferred to Valencia in Spain. Around 4,500 people lose their jobs and thus indirectly (suppliers) probably more.

End of 2014
In Valencia makes the Ford C-Max build. And there will soon be the new Mondeo to produce the Spanish production must be prepared for this. That takes time. Fewer than eighteen months even allowing the introduction of the new Mondeo at the earliest until the second half of 2014 will take place. Initially, the model mid next year in the showrooms. On the scheduled delivery of the remaining (new) models of Ford, the closure of Genk no negative effect.
