April 2 (UPI) -- Ford Motor Co. on Thursday said first-quarter sales fell more than 12 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago -- a loss greater than those reported by the automaker's U.S. rivals, but less than the industry average.
Ford said car sales were down 36 percent over the first three months, and SUV (-11 percent) and Truck (-5.4 percent) deliveries were also down. The company said, however, overall van sales were up almost 6 percent.
