Ford Motor Co launched its new global compact sports utility vehicle, EcoSport, in India.
The EcoSport is the second of eight new vehicles that Ford plans to launch in India by 2015. Previously, it was built only in Brazil, and then was developed after considering market needs in India and other developing markets such as the ASEAN region.
