Ford started the production of the B-Max minivan prototypes in Craiova in June 2011. B-Max will be produced exclusively in Romania but will first enter West European markets. In Romania, the minivan will be available starting the third quarter of 2012.
At the beginning of the year, Ford’s Romanian plant also started the production of the smallest engine ever produced by the company – the EcoBoost engine.
Ford said last Wednesday it will produce 60,000 B-Max cars this year at its Romanian plant and estimates production will hit at least 100,000 units in 2013.
