Ford set to introduce 30 new vehicles in China over next three years

The automotive giant, Ford, is planning to unveil over 30 new Ford and Lincoln vehicles in China over the next three years as it begins to tackle a reduction in sales in the world’s biggest automaker market, according to CNN Business.

In a statement, Ford revealed that approximately one-third of the new cars will be electric vehicles (EV). Despite a slowdown in the overall auto market, sales of EVs are increasing following the government’s policy to clean up the country’s environment.
