Ford Motor to terminate electric vehicle plans with China's Zotye

 SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Ford Motor has decided to terminate plans to launch electric vehicle joint ventures with China’s Zotye Automobile, the U.S. auto giant said on Thursday.

It said that China’s electric vehicle industry and government policies had undergone major changes since the agreements were signed in 2017 and 2018, prompting Ford’s decision. Ford didn’t specify which changes triggered its move.

In a statement on Thursday, Ford said it would pursue a more “flexible business model in China” that would see it utilize its existing operations in the country and elsewhere, and build related business centers.

Zotye did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In 2017, during a visit by former U.S. President Donald Trump to China, Ford and Zotye said that they would invest a combined $756 million to set up a 50-50 joint venture in China to build small electric passenger vehicles.

The Vista Cruiser is his favorite of all his cars, he said, because of his long history with it. “Honestly, it's the best thing I've ever acquired.
