Ford Sales in China Increase 50% in 2013

FLUSHING, Mich - There has been tons of recognition for Ford's outstanding year in the United States between the Best-Vehicle Brand in America title in the bag, new sales records being set, unveiling new technology, and the lists goes on. But, let us not forget that the United States isn't the only place contributing to Ford's success. Ford sales in China have increased by 50 percent in 2013, with wholesale vehicle sales totaling 935,813. 

2013 has been a milestone year for Ford's growth in China. The plan to bring China seven of Ford's next-generation global vehicles was a successful one. A strong Chinese customer demand for the expanded lineup of vehicles allowed Ford China to set another annual sales record. 

The Ford Focus ST, Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Edge, and the Ford Explorer made a huge splash in China in 2013. These four imports sold 26,856 wholesales, up a massive 231 percent compared to the 8,108 sold in 2012. The Ford Focus lead 2013 sales with 403,640 wholesales. 

A strong ending to 2013 with Ford sales in China up 50 percent, Ford is excited for the start of 2014. Ford Motor Company is looking forward to serving more Chinese customers, growing capacity, expanding their dealership network, and continuing to provide them with high-quality, safe, fuel-efficient, and smart Ford vehicles.
