Ford Motor Company reported a 1.6 percent year-on-year increase in U.S. sales for October, selling 175,584 vehicles. This growth was driven by internal combustion vehicle sales while electric and hybrid vehicle sales experienced declines.

• Overall U.S. sales for Ford in October were up 1.6 percent, reaching 175,584 vehicles.
• Ford's internal combustion vehicle sales rose by 3.4 percent in October, counteracting drops in electric vehicles (24.8 percent) and hybrids (4.0 percent).
• The decline in electric vehicle sales for Ford and other automakers like Kia, Hyundai Motor, and Toyota Motor is attributed by market analysts to the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles on September 30.
