Ford Philippines retail sales up 32% in Q3

Retail sales of Ford Philippines surged to 8,244 units in the third quarter of 2016, up 32 percent from a year earlier.

The demand for the EcoSport, Ranger, and Everest models helped grow the carmakers’s Philippine sales, Ford said in a statement on Thursday.

Car sales stood at 24,993 units in the year-to-date, up 50 percent year-on-year.

“Our full lineup of global Ford vehicles is contributing to another exceptional year of growth. EcoSport, Everest and Ranger continue to be the main drivers, but the rest of our showroom, including vehicles like Explorer, Fiesta and Mustang are helping build on the broad-based appeal for the Ford brand in the market,” said Lance Mosley, managing director of Ford Philippines.

Ford Philippines is the local distributor of America’s Ford Motor Co.
