robertlane Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ford Set to Surpass Hyundai in China This Year With the new plant, Ford will be able to produce 1.2 million vehicles a year in China, compared with 1.05 million units at Hyundai, according to data from the companies. That’ll place the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker behind Volkswagen AG, General Motors Co. and Nissan Motor Co. in sales among foreign carmakers in China.

bzcat Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Mark Fields is clearly not including Dongfeng Kia in Hyundai's column. Hyundai's target in China this year is 2 million units - http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/24/us-hyundai-china-sales-idUSKBN0KX03O20150124 Chang'an Ford + Jinagling Ford will have more production capacity than BAIC Hyundai. It's a significant achievement for Ford but Hyundai-Kia is still bigger in China. The bigger news here is Ford appears to be on pace to pass Toyota in 2015... 2014 Passenger Vehicle Sales by Brand in China Rank Brand Manufacturer(s) Sales in 2014 1 Volkswagen FAW Volkswagen, Shanghai Volkswagen 2,710,504 2 Wuling SAIC-GM-Wuling 1,404,797 3 Hyundai Beijing Hyundai 1,120,048 4 Changan Changan 975,431 5 Toyota FAW Toyota, GAC Toyota 956,282 6 Buick Shanghai GM 917,017 7 Nissan Dongfeng Nissan, Zhengzhou Nissan 859,490 8 Ford Changan Ford 801,603 9 Honda GAC Honda, Dongfeng Honda, Honda China 795,408 10 Chevrolet Shanghai GM 767,001 11 Kia Dongfeng Yueda Kia 646,036 12 Dongfeng Dongfeng Fengshen, Dongfeng Liuzhou, Dongfeng Sokon, Zhengzhou Nissan 555,390 13 Audi FAW Volkswagen 513,000 14 Chery Chery 476,162 15 BYD BYD 437,857 16 Haval Great Wall 429,328 17 Geely Geely 425,773 18 Peugeot Dongfeng PSA 384,005 19 Citroen Dongfeng PSA 320,011 20 BAIC BAIC 299,184 21 Skoda Shanghai Volkswagen 282,390 22 BMW BMW Brilliance 278,195 23 Suzuki Changan Suzuki, Changhe Suzuki 263,232 24 Mazda Changan Mazda, FAW Mazda 204,652 25 JAC JAC 195,799 26 Great Wall Great Wall 183,158 27 Baojun SAIC-GM-Wuling 181,586 28 Haima FAW Haima, Haima Car 180,843 29 Besturn FAW Car 178,047 30 Lifan Lifan 174,013 31 Zotye Zotye 166,252 32 Mercedes -Benz Beijing Benz, Fujian Benz 139,508 33 Zhonghua (Brilliance) Brilliance 137,939 34 Roewe SAIC 127,801 35 Trumpchi GAC 116,758 36 Venucia Dongfeng Nissan 114,035 37 Huansu BAIC Yinxiang 84,696 38 Mitsubishi GAC Mitsubishi, Soueast Mitsubishi 73,257 39 Fiat GAC Fiat 68,090 40 Youngman Lotus Youngman Lotus 64,311 41 JMC JMC 60,857 42 Gonow GAC Gonow 57,002 43 Soueast Soueast 55,551 44 FAW FAW Tianjin, FAW Jilin 53,894 45 Xiali FAW Tianjin 53,857 46 Hawtai Hawtai 53,017 47 MG SAIC 52,217 48 Luxgen Dongfeng Yulon 52,203 49 Cadillac Shanghai GM 39,922 50 Volvo Volvo Asia Pacific, Changan Ford 37,285 51 Citroen DS Changan PSA 26,008 52 Changhe Changhe 22,182 53 Changfeng Changfeng 21,160 54 Jinbei Brilliance 15,729 55 Yema Sichuan Auto 12,326 56 Ciimo Dongfeng Honda 11,014 57 Zhongxing Zhongxing (ZXAUTO) 10,670 58 Beijing BAW 9,884 59 Huanghai Huanghai 7,616 60 Foton Foton 7,197 61 Jonway Jonway 7,106 62 Qoros Qoros 6,967 63 BAIC Electric Vehicle BAIC Electric Vehicle 5,234 64 Everus GAC Honda 4,547 65 Oley FAW Car 4,260 66 Maxus SAIC Maxus 3,380 67 Infiniti Dongfeng Infiniti 2,440 68 Hongqi (Red Flag) FAW Car 2,341 69 Hafei Hafei 1,971 70 Meiya Tianjin Meiya 101 Edited March 24, 2015 by bzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F250 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I wonder how much actual net profit Ford brings home after they pay Chang'an Automobile Group their 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I wonder how much actual net profit Ford brings home after they pay Chang'an Automobile Group their 50%. Enough to justify spending $4 billion on increasing production by 50%. Let's see how deep their pockets really are, will Ford double down and go again...

bzcat Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Good lord. Not since the brass era in the US.............. And that's just the top 70 brands. Missing from that list are smaller foreign brands (e.g. Porsche, Bentley, Rolls Royce etc) and a host of fly-by-night outfits out in the provinces. The list also does not include makers of commercial vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
