Kocaeli (Turkiye): Ford Otomotiv Sanayi AS, a joint venture between Ford Motor Co and Koc Holding AS, increased capacity by almost four-fold at its Yenikoy plant in the province of Kocaeli.

Speaking at the plant last Saturday, chairman Ali Koc said the factory will cement Ford Otomotiv’s position as Europe’s leading electric commercial vehicle manufacturer. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also spoke at the ceremony, saying his government has always supported the carmaker’s investments.
