DETROIT — Ford Motor On Thursday, the company reported a 10.3% decline in second-quarter new vehicle sales in the U.S. as it struggled with supplier issues for its F-Series pickup trucks and a significant decline in all-electric vehicles.
The Detroit automaker said pure EV sales fell 40.7% in the quarter compared to a year earlier. Sales of F-Series trucks, including the F-150, fell 11% as Ford began ramping up production after its largest aluminum supplier restarted production after two fires late last year.
“Although customer demand remains high, first-half F-Series sales reflect the halting of commercial production following last year’s aluminum supply shortage. Ford expects supply to recover more fully in the second half of the year,” Ford said in a statement. he said.
Ford sold 549,200 vehicles in the second quarter, compared with 612,095 a year earlier. While this was one of the largest declines expected in the industry, the results slightly exceeded Cox Automotive’s expectations that Ford sales would fall 11.5%.
