Ford China Vehicle Sales Exceed the Half-Million Mark

JACKSON, Mich - The first-half of the year has gone immensely well for Ford China. Vehicle Sales have exceeded the half-million mark with 549,256 vehicles sold since the start of 2014. This is a 35 percent increase in sales compared to this time last year, which totalled 407,474 vehicles sold. Such a significant increase in sales has proven the success of the China growth plan. Ford China has worked diligently to grow their sales network, increase capacity and hire exceptional employees to deliver the high quality, safety, fuel efficiency and smart technologies that China customers are constantly searching for.

The Ford Focus, Ford Kuga, Ford Mondeo and the Ford EcoSport have continued to be hot commodities for the last six months; June sales alone increased 17 percent with 87,783 vehicles sold! The Ford Focus nameplate led CAF, Ford's passenger car joint venture, sales for the first half of the year with 201,464 vehicles sold, 33,614 of those were sold during the month of June.

The Kuga and EcoSport SUVs each increased their sales by selling 66,225 and 33,403 units; up 78 and 103 percent from this time last year.

Ford China Vehicle Sales Exceeding the Half-Million Mark is one of several factors that will contribute to the success that lies ahead. Last month, Ford opened its US $350 million transmission plant in Chongqing -the first transmission plant in the Asia Pacific region. The CAFTP, Changan Ford Transmission Plant, will produce roughly 400,000 units a year to meet the growing demand from Chinese consumers.
