Spoke with a contact at Ford today and it appears all cars still have to meet ADR's as I expected.
8 months of work on the Mustang to meet ADR's before it was imported.
Found out some other interesting facts both at Ford and another Company I visited but probably all common knowledge....
Didn't realise the Evoque was based on the Ford Focus platform. Spoke to my young bloke who works at a dealers and apparently a lot of parts have FoMoCo on them.
Tesla building a Chinese factory planned to open late next year.
Interesting some of the partnerships that are being made between major automotive companies and Chinese companies. Was quite surprised at the cars that are made there right now and then of course, there are the copies.
Hawtai B35 Cayenne copy
Zoyte SR9 Macan copy
Landwind X7 Evoque copy
There's loads of them........
