Hackett to retire 1 October, Jim Farley to become CEOIt is true that global sales are down over the past couple of years. However, in many areas (not including China, which has been a cluster), the mix of sales has been improving.
Ranger now controls most sales for Ford Oz, basically taking the same ratio the Falcon once did. Which will provide Ford Oz more profit? Falcon/Focus...or the Ranger? We all know the answer. Same goes for Fiesta sales switching to Puma or Focus sales switching to Kuga elsewhere.
Ranger was already the 2nd best selling small truck globally before releasing in the US. Some have suggested why Ford doesn't start production of the Ranger in China. I have asked that myself, but the T6 platform is used for JMC pickups. All dealers that sell JMC products also sell the Ford products made under the same JV, so it might lead to internal competition.
Things are looking up in China. Corsair, Nautilus, Aviator, and Explorer are now locally made and are so far doing well.Thu, 06 Aug 2020 01:02:54 +0000
