Ford Motor and China’s Geely have reportedly reached an agreement for Geely to produce electric vehicles at Ford’s Almussafes plant near Valencia, Spain, according to a report by Spanish newspaper ABC that was cited by Reuters. The outlets say the arrangement would involve Geely using Ford’s manufacturing facilities at Almussafes for EV production, though the reports do not specify vehicle models, production volumes, or the terms of any financial arrangement.
TechNode and ABC-related reporting also frame the timing of the announcement around a visit to the factory on July 23 by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Ford Europe President Jim Farley (as referenced in the Reuters-backed report). The reported collaboration follows broader efforts by automakers to expand EV manufacturing capacity in Europe.
While the reports indicate an agreement has been reached and that an announcement is expected around the officials’ visit, details such as start dates, investment amounts, and regulatory or supply-chain plans are not included in the information provided by the sources here.
