Ford has faced its fair share of challenges in global markets in recent times, ranging from weaker than expected demand for EVs to soaring inflation, ever-changing tariffs, and declining interest in The Blue Oval's passenger vehicles. Of course, these challenges vary greatly depending on what market we're talking about, but Ford continues to sell quite a lot of vehicles across the world, regardless. That includes Ford Canada, which was actually The Blue Oval's second-largest market in 2024.
According to Felipe Munoz of JATO Dynamics, Ford Canada sold 260,504 vehicles last year - a substantial 16 percent more than 2023 - which was second only to the U.S. at 1,960,338 units, which represented a three percent year-over-year decrease. Those two markets were followed by the UK at 222,657 vehicles (a 10 percent decrease), China in fourth-place with 171,479 sales (a six percent year-over-year decrease), Germany at 156,153 sales (down two percent), and Ford Italy at 100,493 vehicles (seven percent fewer than 2023).
This result is rather impressive for Ford Canada amid ever-changing rules and regulations, though it will be interesting to see how it fares in 2025, given the fact that tariffs remain in play between it and the U.S. On top of that, Canada has long sought to end the sale of new ICE vehicles in the coming years, a move that comes amid concerns over how those types of vehicles negatively impact the environment. As for Canada, its rules mandate a 20 percent zero emissions sales mix for the 2026 model year, then 60 percent in 2030, and 100 percent in 2035.
However, amid faltering EV sales following Canada's decision to nix its own incentives for those types of vehicles, the province of Quebec, Canada will now include hybrids in its definition of zero-emissions vehicles, a move attributed to “new market realities,” accordion to Environment Minister Benoit Charette. That particular part of Canada imposed even stricter rules than its parent country back in 2018, which call for a 32.5 percent sales mix of zero-emissions light-duty vehicle sales in the 2026 model year, a figure that grows to 85 percent in 2030 and 100 percent in 2035.
A nice example of the more powerful pickup.
It should conjure up quite a lot of interest when it crosses the block.
