Ford reported May U.S. auto sales that jumped considerably, once again powered by hybrid vehicle and truck sales.
For the month, Ford sold 190,014 vehicles, an 11.2% increase from a year ago and up 6.4% sequentially from April. Ford delivered 17,631 hybrid vehicles for the month, driven by the new F-150 hybrid and Maverick hybrid.
The all-new F-150 pickup, which saw sales slip earlier this year because of a delayed rollout, rebounded in May. Ford’s overall truck sales climbed 11.2% in May to 109,143, with total pickup sales jumping 7.7% on sales of 87,786 pickups. Ford said sales of the hybrid version of the F-150 rose 51% on sales of 5,766 trucks.
"We should stop talking about as transitional technology," Ford CEO Jim Farley said at Bernstein’s Strategic Decision conference last Thursday.
