Although company has not revealed the entire plan, but Gary Johnson, VP-Manufacturing, Asia Pacific and Africa clearly said, "From an engine perspective, we'll be exporting not just to Europe but also to Thailand," Previously as well Johnson told this to Reuters at a automotive conference held in Delhi, "If somewhere needs more engines and we've got the capability, then we're going to ship them," Speaking about the possibilities of exporting engines and cars from India, Michael Boneham, Ford India's president said, "Europe has got significant manufacturing capacity itself, So it's probably not that smart to go and ship cars out of India to Europe... For us it's probably more you look at the engines."
