ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The immediate impact of this partnership on Ford's European operations is a significant reduction in production costs, which could lead to more competitive pricing for hybrid and electric SUVs in the Australian market

Production and Pricing

The Spanish factory's focus on hybrid and electric SUVs will allow Ford to take advantage of Geely's expertise in these areas, potentially leading to more efficient production and lower costs, which could be passed on to customers

Ford's decision to partner with Geely suggests that the company is committed to staying competitive in the European market, where hybrid and electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and this commitment could lead to more aggressive pricing strategies in Australia

Competitor Response and Market Impact

Other manufacturers, such as Volkswagen and Toyota, will likely take notice of this partnership and respond with their own hybrid and electric SUV offerings, potentially leading to increased competition in the Australian market and putting pressure on dealers to offer competitive pricing and incentives

The partnership between Ford and Geely could also lead to increased marketing and advertising efforts in Australia, as both companies look to promote their new hybrid and electric SUV models and attract customers away from competitors
