It would be the first time the firm has shipped Indian-built engines to Europe.

“From an engine perspective, we’ll be exporting not just to Europe but also to Thailand,” said Johnson, without providing details.

Ford will have capacity to build 450,000 cars and 600,000 engines in India by 2015, after investing over $2 billion in two plants in the country.
