Ford will invest $72 million to expand its powertrain facility in Chennai, India, bringing the automaker's total investment in India to more than $1 billion. When expansion is complete in mid-2012, the plant's diesel engine production capacity will jump from 250,000 to 330,000 units per year.
This investment is part of Ford of India's transformation into a major global export and manufacturing hub. Both the 1.6-liter TiVCT and the 1.4-liter HC Duratorq diesel engines will be exported from the country.
Back in March, employees at Ford's Chennai plant celebrated the production of the facility's 100,000th engine – a milestone achieved just 14 months after the factory opened its doors. Currently, Ford of India ships engines to Thailand and South Africa, and future plans call for the exportation of India-built gasoline and diesel engines to more markets.
