Ford to Produce All-Electric Cars in China Via Joint Venture
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ford Motor Company (F - Free Report) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Anhui Zotye Automobile Co., Ltd., an all-electric vehicles manufacturer. Objectives of this agreement are to inspect the formation of a joint venture that would look into growth, manufacturing and after-sales servicing of all-electric passenger models in China.
The goals of MoU are in line with Ford’s vision of sustainable auto growth and the company’s dealing with issues related to climatic changes and air quality improvement.
Per Peter Fleet, group vice president and president of Ford Asia Pacific, electric automobiles will be a major part of China’s future and the company is excited about offering all-electric models in the country, identified as the largest auto market.
Manufactured vehicles will be sold under a brand owned by the joint venture, aiming for a sizable share in China’s all-electric auto market.
Previously in April 2017, Ford announced vehicle electrification plans for China, including launch of two new electric vehicles on the land. By 2025, the company targets to ensure 70% of vehicles sold in the nation are electric.
In order to promote use of electric vehicles for long distance travels in other parts of the world, Ford is teaming up with BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen (including Audi and Porsche) to set up an electric charging network in Europe, based on the Combined Charging System standard technology.
Construction of the charging stations will commence in 2017 with initial goal of 400 locations. Within 2020, the companies look to build up a network of more than thousand charging points. This move will serve the purpose of facilitating adoption of electric vehicles in Europe.
Price Performance
Ford’s shares have declined 15.4% in the last six months, substantially underperforming the 1.6% increase of the industry it belongs to.
Cummins has an expected long-term earnings growth rate of 12.1%.
Fox Factory has a long-term growth rate of 16.1%.
One Simple Trading Idea
Since 1988, the Zacks system has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +25% per year. With compounding, rebalancing, and exclusive of fees, it can turn thousands into millions of dollars.
This proven stock-picking system is grounded on a single big idea that can be fortune shaping and life changing. You can apply it to your portfolio starting today.
