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.
