Ford Mustang Mach E trademark registered in India, likely to launch via CBU
Ford is making a comeback to the Indian market soon. Initially, there were rumors about the American carmaker’s comeback when they decided not to sell their Chennai plant recently. Eventually, design patents were filed for the new generation Ford Endeavour, which made things more exciting. Finally, a few weeks back, some job openings were listed for their EV project in India, confirming their comeback. However, they have still not announced their re-entry to the Indian market officially.
The recent filing of Ford Mustang Mach-E trademark is yet another hint of their future presence in our country. The American carmaker is likely to focus on electric vehicles with their comeback in India. The Mach-E is expected to be imported via CBU route soon after their official launch.
