"Ford has scrapped its plan to combine sales from its joint ventures (JVs) – with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co. and Jiangling Motors Group – and create a unified national sales company. China remains a challenging automotive market with many JVs satisfying the interests of both the partners had to be a daunting task. The rationale behind the above plan was that a unified company will improve operational efficiencies amid declining sales. However, cross-distribution of sales, among the above JV partners, for Ford's SUV – Territory, failed due to a breakdown in the relationship of the JV partners." – Aman Madhok
