Ford Vice President discussed the state of implementation of Ford's investment in Craiova, including the creation of nearly 1,700 new jobs already announced by the company, the government said in a press release.

In talks with the Ford delegation, Prime Minister Mihai Tudose stressed the importance of the automotive industry for the Romanian economy, both in terms of its share in GDP and social development, by creating new jobs both directly and through the effect of economic engagement.
Last week, Ford introduced the new compact EcoSport for the European market, which will be built at the Craiova manufacturing plant in southern Romania, following an investment of 200 million euros. (source: digi24.ro)
