Ford group falls to seventh place in the world in 2019 car producer rank
- The Ford group (Ford, Lincoln) published its sales figures for the year 2019 which was almost as bad for the carmaker as the year 2018.
Its world sales fell by 8,8% compared to 2018 when they had already decreased by 15% in 2018 compared to 2017. The group is now the seventh carmaker in the world, when it was the sixth in 2019, behind Honda. And its decreasing sales curve follows that of its compatriot GM. It is difficult to imagine when a possible trend reversal will take place, especially since these two carmakers have strategically decided to remove their sedans from the North American market.
