Ford India would be exporting ‘Figo’ to at least 48 countries this year, including South America, Africa and west Asia, a top official said today.
“Last year, Ford exported about 7,000 units of the new model to South Africa as the demand was good. The company has started exporting to Nepal and would be exporting Figo to 48 countries this year,” said N Raja, Vice President (sales), Ford India. Europe would be next, he added.
Ford India, a subsidiary of Ford Motor, was eyeing a 50 per cent growth in sales and was targetting to sell more than one lakh cars in 2011, he said. Last year, it sold about 80,000 units.
In Kerala, Ford sold 1,500 Figo cars within 100 days of launch. Its sales touched 4,000 units last year and it was hoping to double that number this year.
