Ford preparing the concept version of Kuga crossover and Escape SUV for next year’s Detroit Motor Show. The new compact-sized crossover model will go into production in the second half of 2012 as a 2013 model.

“The Kuga/Escape successor could hit Deutschland’s showrooms as early as March next year and reach other European markets by the second quarter.” Bernhard Mattes said. He is man in charge of Ford’s German factories.

Moving production to the U.S. is another point on Ford’s agenda. It’s likely that the new car will be manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, while the German factory in Saarlouis will keep the European production of the new Focus.

Ford Kuga will be produced in USA

Dollar exchange rate falling under the relation in the European currency and presence of free capacities to the USA force company management Ford to transfer manufacture of cars from Europe to America. According to agency Bloomberg, crossover Ford Kuga becomes the first European model which will move for ocean, – in 2011 this car will start to assemble not in Germany, and in America in the State of Kentucky.

Simultaneously with it in the USA sale Kuga which could be bought till now only in the Old World will begin. Thus about 80 000 assembled in America Kuga will be then delivered to Europe. Certainly, from the point of view of logistics it is not too convenient, however, at the expense of lower cost price of manufacture of cars in the USA, it will be all the same more favourable, than to do cars in the Old World.
