China-Built Ford Bronco New Energy Enters Production, Reported for Australia

Australian availability remains unconfirmed, with local efficiency rules creating a commercial incentive.

Overview

  • Wheelsboy reports the electrified Bronco New Energy is planned for export to Australia, Southeast Asia, South America and the Middle East, but not to the US or Europe.
  • Ford Australia called the model an exciting addition to the global lineup yet said it has no news to share on local product plans.
  • The SUV has entered production in China through the JMC–Ford joint venture, expanding Ford’s region-specific Bronco family.
  • The large unibody model offers dual-motor EV and range‑extender variants, including a 105.4kWh EV and a 43.7kWh EREV with a 1.5‑litre turbo generator, with reported outputs up to 332kW.
  • Coverage notes potential appeal for Australia under the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard and to help fill gaps in Ford’s local SUV range.
