The plant’s capacity is 350,000 engines, which will be used in the B-Max and Focus models at first; the former model will be assembled in Craiova, as well.

Ford invested EUR180 million in the engine plant, which covers 50,000 square meters.

The new engine has a horsepower of 100, 120 or 125, which makes it the most powerful ever made in Romania.
