AutoExec Summary
Local conversion to right-hand drive is being considered as a way for the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pick-up truck to be sold in Australia. A new assembly line in Melbourne is converting left-hand drive petrol F-150s to right-hand drive for sale through Ford dealers. The Ford-backed program is being run and funded by the Thai vehicle modifier RMA. Ford Australia president Andrew Birkic has expressed interest in the Lightning and confirmed that an investigation is underway for its local sale. The Lightning is not the top priority for the new Melbourne facility, but Ford Australia has plans to roll out five electrified vehicles by the end of 2024.
Brands mentioned: Ford, Chevrolet, Tesla, RAM
