This includes its signature Ford brand trucks, cars, SUVs, and electric models, as well as its premium Lincoln line. Its operations are structured into three primary divisions: Automotive, Mobility, and Ford Credit. The Automotive division is responsible for distributing Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles, along with associated parts and accessories. Sales channels encompass a network of distributors and dealers, alongside direct transactions with large-scale clients such as commercial fleets, car rental agencies, and public sector organizations. Within the Mobility segment, the company focuses on developing and delivering innovative mobility solutions, including the advancement of autonomous driving technologies. Ford Credit serves as the company's financial arm, primarily offering financing and leasing options for vehicles, both directly and via its dealer network. Its services include retail installment agreements for both new and pre-owned vehicles, as well as direct leases for new models, catering to individual consumers and commercial entities alike (e.g., leasing firms, government bodies, rental operators, and fleet managers). Furthermore, Ford Credit extends wholesale credit to dealerships for inventory acquisition, provides capital for operational needs, facility upgrades, real estate purchases, and other dealership-specific programs. Notably, Ford has formed a strategic alliance with ARB Corporation Limited to co-develop a range of aftermarket accessories specifically for its new Ford Bronco model. Established in 1903, Ford Motor Company maintains its headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.
