Back in May, the CDC revised its guideline for face coverings, stating that those who were fully vaccinated need no longer wear masks in most indoor settings. Now, the United Auto Workers union (UAW) has finally followed suit, opting to lift its mask requirements for Ford factory workers beginning on July 12, 2021.

This year’s Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction featured a number of notable Blue Oval models, including a 1966 Ford Mustang once owned by Henry Ford II and a 2019 Ford GT with only 21 miles on the odometer.

However, one particularly noteworthy model was also sold; a custom 1977 Ford Bronco restomod previously owned by comedian and actor Kevin Hart. The Bronco, like every lot in Las Vegas, was offered with no reserve price. At the end of the day, it sold for an impressive $139,700.

Earlier this month, the Ford Motor Company announced that local Michigan energy company DTE Energy had been commissioned to create a new rooftop solar array at the Ford Research & Engineering Center in Dearborn, Michigan. 

The 2,159-panel array is located on the rooftop level of the Deck 400 parking structure and includes an integrated battery storage system that will be used to power newly-installed electric vehicle (EV) chargers. 

Earlier this week, the Ford Motor Company announced that it would begin testing the all-new 2022 Ford E-Transit in Europe very soon. Now, the Blue Oval brand has also stated that an E-Transit registration site has officially been launched for U.S. customers.

It’s no secret that the 2021 Ford F-150 pickup is already the hottest truck going, but believe it or not, certain advanced performance trims, like the F-150 Raptor and F-150 Tremor, are about to make this ride even hotter.

America’s all-time best-selling SUV just got even better. Earlier this week, the Ford Motor Company announced three new choices for the 2021 Ford Explorer, including the lower-priced Explorer Enthusiast ST, a better-value rear-wheel drive Explorer Platinum model, and an incredibly efficient Explorer Platinum Hybrid variant.

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is taking the world by storm — literally. According to the Blue Oval brand, the European version of the all-new Mustang Mach 1 is “the fastest Mustang around a track ever to be sold in Europe.”

Due to overwhelming excitement and demand, the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E got off to a bit of a rough start after a stop-ship was issued in January following a quality issue. Unfortunately, that meant that a number of eager Mach-E buyers have been forced to wait a bit longer to take delivery of their all-new all-electric rides.

As a result of the frustrating experience, Ford is now offering compensation in the form of free charging, a cash back incentive, and in some cases, a free first payment!

Earlier this week, the Ford Motor Company debuted its latest “Mustang Mach-E v. Everything” campaign, a series of five short films that are intended to highlight the many various strengths of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E in many impressive and visually captivating ways.

It is Ford’s hope that the new campaign will shatter every misconception that the general public still has about all-electric vehicles by pitting the upcoming 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E against the very powerful forces of gravity, lightning, a racing pit crew, DNA, and even a rocket ship.

Earlier this week, the Ford Motor Company and online tech juggernaut Google announced a unique, first-of-its-kind partnership that will strategically accelerate Ford’s connected vehicle development and experience. 

In addition, Ford has named Google Cloud as its preferred cloud provider going forward, a move that leverages Google’s world-class expertise in data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Beginning in 2023, millions of future Ford and Lincoln vehicles will be powered by Android, with multiple built-in Google apps and services.
