Ford Motor Company sales decreased 17 percent to 173,740 units during December 2021 in the United States. Sales decreased at both FoMoCo brands, the namesake Ford brand as well as at Lincoln.
“Ford finished the year strong, as the only U.S. automaker hitting the half million sales mark in the fourth quarter, making Ford America’s best-selling automaker. On the strong success of Mustang Mach-E, Ford jumped into second place in U.S. electric vehicle sales behind just Tesla,” said Vice President, Ford Sales U.S. and Canada, Andrew Frick. “Last year was a foundational year for Ford in the electrified vehicle segment and this year we continue to expand, adding the F-150 Lightning and E-Transit to our electric vehicle lineup. Looking to the new year, Ford had just over 70,000 new vehicle orders in December, which will provide continued momentum into 2022,” he added.
