The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is already not the most home-grown vehicle. Unlike the traditional Mustang built in Dearborn, Michigan, the all-electric Mach-E is assembled at Ford’s Cuautitlan plant in Mexico. Ford only delivered three examples of the Mach-E in 2020 after a pandemic-riddled year, but this year should be better as the company recovers and finds new methods to build more cars. To satisfy global demand, Changan Ford will begin building the Mach-E in China for local customers, marking the first time a Mustang will be built outside of North America.
To be clear, Ford will continue to produce the Mach-E for a North American market at its Cuautitlan plant; only local market vehicles will be assembled in China where it will go on sale later in 2021. Localizing the Mach-E is part of the “Best of Ford, Best of China” strategy, which is aimed at delivering smart vehicles and technology to Chinese buyers.
