Ford acelera sus ventas en el segundo trimestre, impulsadas por la serie F de camiones

En el segundo trimestre del año aumentaron las ventas de Ford Motorcon un notable aumento de 9,9% en comparación con el mismo periodo del año anterior. Este significativo aumento se debe al incremento de las ventas de sus camiones de la serie F.

Ford announced on Thursday that they had sold a total of 531,662 vehicles from April through June. This was an increase from the prior year, where they sold 483,688 cars and trucks. The earlier figures had been hampered by supply chain issues.

En particular, las ventas de los camiones de la Serie F se dispararon con un salto de 34% durante el segundo trimestre en comparación con el año anterior. En particular, la versión totalmente eléctrica del F-150 duplicó con creces sus ventas, alcanzando las 4.466 unidades.

“Ford achieved both best-selling brand and truck for six consecutive months this year on the strength of F-Series, vans, our new Escape, and F-150 Lightning,” said Andrew Frick, Ford vice president of sales, distribution and trucks.

Frick also added that Ford’s EV sales were continuing to grow and that Mustang Mach-E sales climbed 110% in June.

Overall truck sales, which significantly contribute to Ford’s profits, had increased by 23% in the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2022. The company said that their all-new Super Duty trucks and higher production of other models aided this gain.

On the other hand, Ford’s EV sales during the second quarter supuestamente descendió ligeramente en 2,8% hasta 14.843 vehículos. El descenso se debió a la escasez de suministros del Mach-E, resultado de una revisión de la fábrica que produce el VE.

Despite the dip, Ford is confident about the future of its EVs, aiming to turn a profit on its EV business by the end of 2026. At present, EVs constitute just 2.8% of the automaker’s total sales during the second quarter, while traditional internal combustion engines make up roughly 91% of sales, and hybrids account for 6.5%.
