U.S. Ford Motor Company Sales Decrease 10 Percent In Fourth Quarter 2020

Ford Motor Company sales decreased 10 percent to 542,749 units during the fourth quarter of 2020 in the United States. Sales decreased at both FoMoCo brands, Ford and Lincoln.

“Fourth quarter represented an inflection point at Ford in our transition from cars to a much greater focus on iconic trucks, SUVs and electric vehicles to better serve our customers,” said Vice President, Ford Sales U.S. and Canada, Andrew Frick. “We began to see our strongest evidence of this in December with retail sales up 5.3 percent with the launch of our new F-150, Bronco Sport and Mustang Mach-E. We are well positioned to see the benefits of our focused efforts throughout 2021,” he added.
