Ford Motor Company, founded by Henry Ford in 1903, is one of the world’s largest and most iconic automakers, headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan. It is the second-largest American-based automaker and ranks sixth globally by production volume. The company revolutionized the automotive industry with the introduction of the moving assembly line, which drastically reduced manufacturing costs and made cars affordable to the masses, notably with the Model T[1][6]. Today, Ford designs, manufactures, markets, and services a full line of cars, trucks, SUVs, and electrified vehicles globally. It is particularly renowned for its F-Series trucks, which remain America’s best-selling pickup line, with over 620,000 trucks sold in the third quarter of 2025 alone, outperforming competitors by a significant margin[2]. Ford is also expanding aggressively into electrified vehicles, reporting record sales of over 85,000 electrified vehicles in Q3 2025, including hybrids like the F-150 Hybrid and Maverick Hybrid, which are leading products in their segments[2]. Ford’s recent strategic focus includes enhancing vehicle performance and off-road capabilities, exemplified by new models like the Explorer Tremor and F-150 Lobo, alongside expanding convenient services such as their Mobile Service fleet, which completed over 2.8 million remote service experiences in 2025 to date[2]. Financially, Ford’s revenue has been growing steadily, reaching $185 billion in 2024 with a net profit of $5.9 billion, and total assets at $285 billion. The company employs around 171,000 people worldwide and remains committed to innovation and sustainability in the rapidly transforming automotive industry[1][5]. Leadership under CEO Jim Farley, who took the helm in 2020, continues to drive Ford’s transformation towards electrification and advanced mobility solutions, maintaining its legacy while steering towards a technology-driven future[1][6].
