Jiangling Motor Corp, the joint-venture handling Ford's commercial vehicles like the Ford Transit van, posted sales of 23,785 vehicles, Ford said in a statement.

Ford included sales of imported Land Rover and Jaguar models in its first-quarter sales results for China. Ford has sold those brands to Tata Motors Ltd (TAMO.BO) in a $2.3 billion deal that closed last month.
