Ford Motor Company started 2016 with record-breaking sales in
China, with 130,832 Ford vehicles sold in January, up 36 percent
compared to January 2015. Record sales of the Ford Escort, the new
Ford Mondeo, and Ford’s sport utility vehicle (SUV) lineup helped
boost January sales.
“We are honored that customers are responding so positively to
our vehicles,” said John Lawler, chairman and CEO of Ford Motor
China. “The combination of great performance and great value is
clearly bringing more people into Ford showrooms.”
Changan Ford Automobile (CAF), Ford's passenger car joint
venture, also broke sales records, with 111,856 vehicles sold, up
58 percent compared to January 2015.
The Ford Escort helped drive January’s strong performance, with
a record 28,980 vehicles sold, a six-fold increase compared to
January 2015. The new Ford Mondeo was another record breaker, with
more than 15,000 vehicles sold, up 33 percent compared to January
2015.
January was also a record-breaking month for Ford SUVs. Monthly
sales of the Ford Ecosport, Kuga, Edge, Explorer and Everest
totaled 37,411 vehicles, up 75 percent compared to January
2015.
Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC), Ford's commercial vehicle
investment in China, sold 17,255 vehicles in January, down 24
percent compared to January 2015 reflecting continued weakness in
the overall commercial vehicle industry.
