Start of production of the SUV is scheduled for 2012. Edition Ford Explorer will establish the plant Sollers (owner 50% stake in the joint venture Fordollar"), which is located in the special economic zone "Alabuga" in Tatarstan. Accurate production start date has not yet been reported. According to General Director of Sollers-Vadim Shvetsov, Explorer is very popular in America, so the output of this model in Russia will be limited. Export Explorer assembled in Russia to other markets is not planned. By the end of this year in Tatarstan will begin to produce another model Ford commercial Transit. Plans to transfer Focus and Mondeo in "Alabuga" the company does not have - these models will still be released under St. Petersburg.
