在纽约举行的 2024 年沃尔夫会议上，法利进行了热烈的交流，深入研究了福特的国际市场，强调了最新一代 Ranger 的成功。他指出，在全球范围内，它的销售速度甚至超过了Super Duty。

法利关于几乎撤出澳大利亚的评论引起了福特管理局的注意。虽然法利可能暗示福特几乎将Ranger撤出澳大利亚，但有些人认为他的意思是该品牌已经考虑完全退出当地市场。我们已经联系了福特，寻求对法利评论的进一步澄清，并将在收到回复后更新这个故事。

虽然 Ranger 是福特在澳大利亚最畅销的车型，但该品牌还提供多样化的阵容，包括 F-150、Transit、Everest、Mustang Mach-E、Escape 和新款 Mustang。尽管福特最近告别了目前在澳大利亚的内燃机动力彪马，但人们对其全电动同行的到来充满期待，该车型将于今年晚些时候在全球各个市场首次亮相。

福特澳大利亚公司总裁兼首席执行官安德鲁·伯基奇（Andrew Birkic）在谈到5月后停止向澳大利亚运送新款Puma车型的决定时表示：“我们的重点是能够真正满足澳大利亚客户独特需求的车辆和细分市场。我们在商用车领域看到了特别的机会——从Transit到E-Transit，从Transit Custom到E-Transit Custom，以及Ranger。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Ford-Mustang-Mach-E-1a-1024x576.jpg

The Ford Ranger wrapped up 2023 as the undisputed champ of Australia’s new car sales. However, Ford’s CEO, Jim Farley, dropped a bombshell, disclosing that the automaker nearly bailed out of the Australian market altogether.

During a lively exchange at the 2024 Wolfe Conference in New York, Farley delved into Ford’s international markets, highlighting the success of the latest-generation Ranger. He pointed out that globally, it’s outpacing even the Super Duty in sales.

Farley’s comment about almost pulling out of Australia caught the attention of the guys over at Ford Authority. While it is possible that Farley was suggesting Ford almost pulled the Ranger out of Australia, some think he meant the brand had considered exiting the local market entirely. We have reached out to Ford seeking further clarification on Farley comments and will update this story when we hear back.

While the Ranger reigns as Ford’s top seller in Australia, the brand also offers a diverse lineup including the F-150, Transit, Everest, Mustang Mach-E, Escape, and the new Mustang. Although Ford recently bid adieu to the current combustion-powered Puma in Australia, anticipation brews for the arrival of its all-electric counterpart, slated to debut later this year in various markets around the world.

Speaking on the decision to stop shipping new Puma models to Australia after May, Ford Australia president and chief executive Andrew Birkic said “our focus is on vehicles and in segments where we can really meet the unique needs of Australian customers. We see particular opportunities in commercial vehicles – from Transit to E-Transit, Transit Custom to E-Transit Custom, alongside Ranger.”
