Under Alan Mulally, the Ford Motor Company has embraced a lot of changes that have made it a leaner, more efficient company. Mulally’s chief achievement has been the implementation of the “One Ford” plan, which sees a majority of cars built and based off of just a handful of platforms sold in different international markets. For now, the centerpiece of this place of the Focus compact, which is set to underpin no fewer than 11 new vehicles.

But new reports from Germany’s Auto Motor Und Sport reports that the next Mustang is going global, and in a big way.

Auto Motor Und Sport spoke with Barb Samardzich, head of Ford Europe development, who confirmed that the next-generation Mustang is indeed coming to Europe under the One Ford plan. That means the next Mustang must conform to pedestrian and crash standards in both Europe, America, and more than likely Asia as well. In other words, expect the next Mustang to be a very, very safe car.

While Germany has gotten its own version of the Mustang in the past (known as the T-5 up until 1978), they have always been imported in very low numbers, and mostly for American military personnel to purchase. But it seems like Ford is ramping up to sell the Mustang in greater numbers across the globe, which leaves us wondering…should Ford keep the Mustang closer to home?
