Ford Motor Company China sales decreased 11 percent to 133,000 units during the third quarter of 2022. The automaker offers its two core brands – Ford and Lincoln – in the Asian country, as well as a China-specific brand called JMC as part of the Jiangling-Ford joint venture.

“Ford is paving the way for growth in China by differentiating our brand through customer experience in the vehicle purchasing and ownership process, including distributing EVs directly to customers,” said President and CEO of Ford China, Anning Chen, in a statement. “Further transforming our business in China was the establishment of Ford Model e Technology, a standalone entity with dedicated resources to help chart Ford’s EV future in the world’s largest car market and deliver future growth via the Ford+ plan,” he added.
