1. Ride Sharing

This one might be obvious, but we’d be remiss to not mention it. We’ve all heard of Uber…

As technology advances, it becomes possible for companies to advance their own manufacturing processes and business practices to be more efficient and environmentally friendly. These companies are evaluated by the CDP, which looks at how companies, cities, and regions mitigate their impacts on the environment around them.

For the fourth year in a row, Ford has received an A rating from the CDP in regards to water security. Ford has worked tirelessly to improve and…

The 48th annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car auction was a huge success for buyers, Ford, and two worthy charities. The automotive company brought two of its most treasured cars to the auction house — the first 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 and the first 2019 Ford GT Heritage Edition — and sold them earning a total $3.6 million for charities.

The 2020 Mustang Shelby at the auction was the very first production model of its kind, VIN 001. The famed muscle car gained its biggest win ever after selling for $1.1 million, proceeds that will be donated directly to researchers with JDRF…

Ford Motor Company can put another feather in its cap following the conclusion of the 2018 calendar year, with the company now being the number one provider of commercial vans in America for the last 40 years straight.

Ford has offered a number of different van lines throughout their history, including the Econoline, E-Series, Transit and Transit Connect models, and from 1979 through 2018, Ford sold more than 7.1 million total vans, besting their competitors.

A large part of Ford’s 40-year history as the nation’s leading producer of commercial vans is due to their variety of full-size…

What is the most important aspect of a vehicle? Ask this question to a hundred people, and you may get a hundred different answers. Many of them, however, would likely highlight safety as an important quality. Ford vehicles are especially engineered with safety in mind.

Ford builds its vehicles to be safe and goes so far as to include driver-assist technologies that only do more to keep the occupants safe. One such technology is Automatic Emergency Braking, part of the Pre-Collision Assist feature. If a collision is imminent, new Ford vehicles can automatically engage the brakes in order to avoid…

In order to succeed in any industry, innovation and development are necessary. This is especially true of the 21st industry. Technology has rapidly changed and developed over the recent decades and continues to do so today. This is true of many industries but is particularly apparent in the automotive industry.

The automotive field is a strong example of advances in technology because these changes are evident in both the product and the process. Vehicles today are vastly different from previous models, and the amount of technology present in them is immense. However, the manufacturing process that these vehicles go…

For Ford, driving is about more than just travelling from one point to the next. The company also focuses on providing some of the best vehicles that offer a stellar driving experience. One of the ways Ford does this is through sound.

In the new Ford EcoSport, you will found an impressive B&O Sound System. The system, a product of Bang & Olufsen, features 10 speakers throughout the EcoSport, to truly give you a surround sound experience. The interface is also customizable, making your listening that much more enjoyable. To learn more about this feature, check out the video above…

The automotive industry is a tumultuous and often rocky field. While vehicles are a necessity for many Americans, that doesn’t mean that strong sales are always guaranteed. In fact, time has shown just how much vehicle sales can plummet, even in a short amount of time. Ford’s larger vehicles, however, have been experiencing strong sales.

Ford has been making significant strides to alter its fleet to fit customer need and desire. In recent years, it has become very apparent that many drivers prefer the larger size, capability, and versatility that both trucks and SUVs offer. This is why…

Here’s something you might have missed. As Ford Motor Company looks to transition its vehicle lineup primarily to trucks and SUVs while also developing electric and autonomous vehicles, the Blue Oval did something that might not make sense on the surface — it purchased an electric scooter-sharing company called Spin.

Why would one of the world’s premier automakers acquire a scooter company? The move fits with Ford’s plans to expand their presence in the mobility business “to help get places more easily” as they work to find solutions to provide more efficient transportation for customers.
