Sales of Ford automobiles shot up 124 per cent in the first quarter of this year, compared to the same period in 2015, RMA Cambodia said in a press release yesterday.

The company, the sole authorised distributor of the American automaker’s cars in the Kingdom, said that while pick-up trucks proved to be the most popular vehicle sold, a marketable trend could be seen in the sales of sedan and sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales – notably the Ford Explorer and Everest models.

The release did not indicate the total units sold during the quarter.
