Shanghai, September 3 (Gasgoo.com) Ford Motor said yesterday that sales of
Ford brand cars at its Chinese venture Changan Ford grew 111% in August from
a year earlier to 21,127 units, media reported.

 

The August sales figure represents the seventh month of year-on-year growth
for the U.S. automaker in China. Changan Ford is Ford's passenger car joint
venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co.

 

"We're pleased to see the continued momentum and exceptional growth carry
through into a record August, which is traditionally a low season for
China's auto market," Nigel Harris, general manager of Changan Ford Mazda
Automobile Co., said in the statement.

 

Sales of the Ford Focus model rose 58% to 12,269 units in August, the
highest monthly sales tally for the mid-size car since January 2008, the
statement said.

 

The joint venture's all-new Ford Fiesta, which was launched in March, sold
4,539 units last month.
