200,000th Vehicle Rolls Off the Line at JMC-Ford’s Fushun Plant — an All-Electric Ford Bronco

This model was developed specifically for the Chinese market and is aimed at competing in the fast-growing segment of large NEV crossovers with off-road capability.

Mass production of the electric Ford Bronco began on December 12. The JMC-Ford plant in Fushun is 98% automated, operating with the help of 600 industrial robots. The facility has a maximum annual production capacity of up to 300,000 vehicles and currently builds models for Ford, Lincoln, and JMC.

Earlier this year, Ford and JMC invested about $42 million (¥300 million) to upgrade their production lines for assembly of the electric Bronco. The launch of EV production marks a major milestone for the company. Under the Ford brand, the new SUV will compete with models such as the Aito M8, Li Auto L9, Denza N9, and other China-built rivals.

The electric Ford Bronco is easy to recognize thanks to its boxy body shape and a large “Bronco” script across the front. It features oversized bumpers and plastic cladding around the wheel arches. A swing-out rear tailgate with an externally mounted spare tire adds to its rugged image. At the same time, retractable door handles give the Bronco a cleaner, more modern look.

The new SUV boasts substantial dimensions: about 198 inches long, 77 inches wide, and 72 inches tall, with a wheelbase of roughly 116 inches. Minimum ground clearance is 8.7 inches, underscoring its off-road intent.

Inside, the Ford Bronco comes equipped with:

• a 15.6-inch central touchscreen

The cabin offers seating for five passengers.
