Ford says Jan China auto sales up 19% y-o-y

[SHANGHAI] Ford Motor and its Chinese joint ventures sold 112,599 vehicles in China in January, up 19 per cent from a year earlier, the US carmaker said on Friday.

That follows a 13 per cent rise in December and a 2 per cent gain in November.

Ford has said its growth in China has been constrained by a shortage of manufacturing capacity and is adding new plants in the country.

Ford makes vehicles in China in partnership with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co Ltd and Jiangling Motors Corp.
