The Chinese auto market is one of the fastest growing markets in the world, so it is very important that all automakers pay close attention to the trends in China and fight to offer what one of the largest countries in the world wants. The management at the Ford Motor Company has recognized the opportunities available for Ford in China and has been aggressively marketing their cars overseas.
The Ford Motor Company has sold a record 301,524 vehicles in China in the first half of 2010. With the tremendous growth that has been happening in China every year, this number is up a massive 53 percent from the same period in 2009. The company has stated that part of the reason for the huge growth in China this year is due to the release of the new Fiesta subcompact car which has been popular among Chinese buyers.
China’s EV Future is Now

Why do most first-time electric vehicle (EV) buyers decide to make the switch to clean, reliable electric transportation? Are they trying to limit the amount of smog-forming pollutants they emit? Nope. Are they looking for the most energy-efficient vehicle available? No way. Are they searching for ways to reduce their carbon footprint? Not even close.
In fact, most people who buy their first electric vehicle are increasing their carbon footprint when they do so. That’s because almost every electric vehicle sold in the world today is the first motorized vehicle the buyer has ever owned. Every day in China, thousands and thousands of electric bicycles and scooters are sold to people who are “upgrading” from bicycles or walking shoes.
