Good news comes from Ford, while the general auto market is still in slow decline. It seems that Ford has improved the sales. According to The Detroit News, Ford managed to grab 10.1% of Europe’s overall market share in September 2009. It is the first time when they increase the sales with two digits, since 2001 September. According to the press release Ford has sold 155,000 vehicles in September in Europe’s 19 biggest markets, up 12.3% versus September 2008. On the Fiesta segment they have gained about 10%. Ford’s Europe VP Ingvar Sviggum told the DetNews: “It is clear that there is still a need for government intervention in Europe to help bolster the market until demand reaches a more sustainable level.”
