Last year, Ford Motor lost to BYD in global auto sales for the first time. Ford's wholesale sales declined by nearly 2% last year, falling slightly below 4.4 million units, which fell short of the 4.6 million units in sales reported by BYD in January. Data disclosed by the US automaker on Tuesday confirmed that BYD had risen to sixth place in the global auto sales ranking, one position ahead of Ford. Although Ford's US sales increased last year, it lost ground in Europe, particularly in the Chinese market.
