“Almost half of the year-to-year reduction in second quarter production reflects non-recurrence of last year’s planned growth in inventories. The remainder of the decline reflects capacity and product actions related to the company’s revitalisation plan, and reduced F-Series production during the launch of the all-new F-150 truck,” Ford said in a statement.

The company confirmed first quarter production of 1.035 million vehicles.
