Sales of Ford cars and trucks for the year 2013 reached 2.4 million in North America, renewing Ford as the best-selling brand to Toyota.

Ford says sales have increased by more than 10 percent in all categories, ie cars, trucks and commercial vehicles. It is the popularity of the Fiesta car, the Fusion sedan, the C-Max hybrid and Escape SUV who most contributed to this growth.

The individual sales have increased 15 percent in November. Total sales of the brand as it has increased by 12 percent.

Industry Friday publish its sales figures for the month of December. Monthly sales increase "substantially" over a period of 12 months, says Ford.
