OREANDA-NEWS. August 14, 2015. Ford Philippines have announced July retail sales of 1,705 units, helping drive its year-to-date performance up 15 percent to 12,132 units. Ford’s overall July sales were driven by continued strength in demand for the popular Ranger and EcoSport.  

“We’re pleased that our momentum continued through July as Filipinos show their confidence in the Ford brand and appreciation for the way our global Ford vehicles, particularly the Ranger and the EcoSport, are meeting their lifestyle and transportation needs,” said Kay Hart, managing director, Ford Philippines.

The Ranger has remained the country’s best-selling pickup truck in the Philippines, with July retail sales delivering 557 units, bringing its year-to-date performance up 24 percent to 4,884 units.   This month, Ford Philippines will unveil the new Ranger, setting a new benchmark in the pickup truck segment with an uncompromising blend of robust capability, craftsmanship and advanced technology.  The first batch of customer deliveries will start in early September.

The company is also set to start retail sales of the new Everest in the first week of September, following the successful run of the Philippine regional media drive in Chiang Rai last month.   

The popular EcoSport achieved record sales in July with retail sales rising 59 percent to 833 units, delivering its best month ever since being launched in the Philippines last year.  Year-to-date sales of the compact SUV now total 4,966 units.

The sporty Fiesta contributed to July performance with sales increasing 10 percent to 153 units, helping drive its year-to-date sales to 867 units.

Ford Philippines also celebrated the 20th anniversary and the re-opening of its Ford EDSA dealership, the country’s first authorized Ford dealership to open two decades ago.  Ford is on track with its dealership network expansion plan to open 40 locations by the end of the year.
