Ford motor vehicle

Ford is one of the most iconic automotive brands in history, founded by Henry Ford in Detroit, Michigan, in 1903. Known for revolutionizing the manufacturing industry with the introduction of the moving assembly line, the brand has grown into a global powerhouse.

Today, Ford vehicles are produced in numerous facilities across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. While the brand is quintessentially American, its operations are highly localized to serve different markets. The company remains headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, and is publicly traded, with the Ford family still maintaining a significant ownership stake through a special class of shares. The ultimate owner is the Ford Motor Company, which continues to be a leader in the transition toward electric vehicles and smart mobility solutions for 2026 and beyond.
