With 88,700 deliveries for the month, Ford’s sales in Europe were up 9.8% year-over-year in January. This serves to boost Ford’s European market share to 7.7%, which is the highest that the company has seen in three years. Ford remains the number two vehicle and passenger car brand in all of Europe.

“More important than simply increasing our market share is that we have achieved this through improved sales on the higher value retail side of the business,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe.

“Our investment in new product and technologies is really paying off, and we will see much more to come on this front in what will be one of the busiest years ever for Ford in terms of new vehicle introductions in Europe.”
