“This unprecedented level of coverage reinforces Ford’s commitment to provide consumers with the best possible ownership experience. It truly demonstrates that we are bringing our global Ford vehicles to Myanmar,” stated Westerman.
Located on Insein Road in downtown Yangon, the new 2,600-square-meter (28,000 square-foot) retail sales and service facility has been built to Ford’s global design and operational standards andincludes a 12-vehicle showroom and 12-vehicle servicing capacity. The dealership wears the Capital Automotive Ford nameplate and is made possible by an agreement with the emerging markets specialist RMA Group as well as Capital Automotive Ltd, a subsidiary of leading Myanmar automotive conglomerate Capital Diamond Star Group.
