国际英语新闻:Ford increases third-quarter production under cash for clunkers program
According to Ford Americas President Mark Fields, the company's third-quarter production goal is now 495,000 units, about 18 percent higher than a year ago.
Ford also increased its production targets for the fourth quarter to 570,000 vehicles, a 33 percent increase over the same period last year.
Ford is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the federal government's "cash for clunkers" program. Its Ford Focus compact has been one of the most popular choices for customers taking advantage of the program, which provides up to 4,500 U.S. dollars to motorists trading in gas-guzzlers for new, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
On Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law a 2-billion-dollar extension of cash for clunkers program after Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned Congress the program was about to use up the initial 1 billion dollars allocated by lawmakers.
