OAKVILLE, Ont., March 1 2016 – Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. sales increased 23 per cent in February, outpacing a strong start to the year for the automotive industry.

“New vehicle sales in Canada are off to a fast start this year with consumers continuing to make Ford their favourite automotive brand,” said Dianne Craig, president and CEO, Ford of Canada. “With more of our most popular vehicles available at Ford dealerships, our Costco incentive starting, and the new Ford Escape and new Ford Fusion on the way, we expect this sales momentum to continue.”
