“Our results reflect Ford’s balanced portfolio of products,” said Czubay. “Our goal is to offer customers class-leading fuel efficiency, quality, safety, smart design and value in every product and category.”
May 2010 was also the sixth consecutive month in which Ford has registered a sales growth of over 20 percent. Ford trucks posted a 48 percent year over year sales expansion, while passenger cars were up 9 percent and utility vehicles saw an 18 percent sales increase. Year to date, car sales rose 29 percent, utilities were up 30 percent and trucks were up 34 percent.
Ford retail sales saw a 19 percent increase in May, compared to the same period of last year, with the company gaining retail market share for the 19th time in the last 20 months. Fleet sales registered a 32 percent growth, driven by an increase registered by Ford trucks.
"Our laser focus on fuel efficiency and quality is paying off for our customers and for Ford,” said Ken Czubay, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing Sales and Service. “Our customers are rewarded because Ford resale values continue to increase at a rate higher than the overall industry – and they are rewarding us with increased purchase consideration.”
