announced a partnership with mobile telecommunications giant China
Mobile to bring two of its most popular apps—Lingxi and Fetion—onto
Ford vehicles through Ford’s award-winning SYNC AppLink technology
platform. SYNC AppLink-equipped vehicles will be available in China
later this year, initially in the Ford Focus and the new Ford
