Ford Motor's chief financial officer Lewis Booth said given "current assumptions" Ford of Europe would be profitable next year.
John Fleming, CEO of Ford of Europe said: "I think the guidance Lewis said, and I support, is our plan to be profitable next year."
Fleming said this was assuming an overall European car market of 15 million cars, and 2.5 million in Russia and 600,000 in Turkey.
