| abstract | - Ford Motors, sometimes known as Ford Motor Company or FoMoCo, is an automobile manufacturer based out of Dearborn, Michigan, UCAS. It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporate in 1903 and is historically known as the first moving assembly line using pre-made, interchangeable parts, which allowed Ford to mass-produce automobiles. In the second half of the 21st Century, Ford is the last of the Big Three American automakers to remain an independent entity, with Chrysler merging with Nissan to form Chrysler-Nissan and General Motors being bought out by Ares Macrotechnology, and it remains so by playing the rivalries between Ares and Chrysler-Nissan. However, it is believed that Ford Motor Company may be owned, at least partially, by an offshore holding company in the Caribbean League. Ford Motors has diversified by expanding into the vehicle components industry and the growth of Ford's presence in the international market via the European Motor Company, an umbrella holding company that owns various European motor brands such as Citroën, Jaguar, Opel, Peugeot, Range Rover, and Škoda, and the procurement of Asian automakers Mazda and Kia. By owning 51% of the EMC Holding Ford Motors has his own corporate district - Köpenick - in Berlin (Allied German States) since the end of Anarchy in 2055/56. Ford Motors also holds exclusive contracts for manufacturing certain vehicle lines for DocWagon and Lone Star.

- Basic information Ownership status: Publicly traded Number of employees worldwide: 283,000 Website: Tel: 313-322-3000 Corporate accountability Brief company history: Ford Motor Company is an American multinational corporation and the world's third largest automaker based on worldwide vehicle sales. In 2006, Ford was the second-ranked automaker in the US with a 17.5% market share, behind General Motors (24.6%) but ahead of Toyota (15.4%) and DaimlerChrysler (14.4%). Ford was also the seventh-ranked American-based company in the 2007 Fortune 500 list, based on global revenues of $160.1 billion. In 2006, Ford produced about 6.6 million automobiles, and employed about 280,000 employees at about 100 plants and facilities worldwide. Based in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, the automaker was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated in June 16, 1903. Ford now encompasses many global brands, including Lincoln and Mercury of the US, Jaguar and Land Rover of the UK, and Volvo of Sweden. Ford also owns a one-third controlling interest in Mazda. Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce, especially elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines. Henry Ford's combination of highly efficient factories, highly paid workers, and low prices revolutionized manufacturing and came to be known around the world as Fordism by 1914. Ford was launched in a converted factory in 1903 with $28,000 in cash from twelve investors, most notably John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge who would later found the Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company. During its early years, the company produced just a few Model T's a day at its factory on Mack Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Groups of two or three men worked on each car from components made to order by other companies. Henry Ford was 40 years old when he founded the Ford Motor Company, which would go on to become one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world, as well as being one of the few to survive the Great Depression. The largest family-controlled company in the world, the Ford Motor Company has been in continuous family control for over 100 years. Environment and product safety: Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have listed it as the seventh-worst corporate producer of air pollution, primarily because of the manganese compounds, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and glycol ethers released from its casting, truck, and assembly plants. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has linked Ford to 54 Superfund toxic waste sites, 12 of which have been cleaned up and deleted from the list. Ford was third to the automotive market with a hybrid electric vehicle: the Ford Escape Hybrid, which also represented the first hybrid electric SUV] to market and started the Ford hybrid technology. The company had made plans to manufacture up to 250,000 hybrids a year by 2010, but has since had to back down on that commitment, due to excessively high costs and the lack of sufficient supplies of the hybrid-electric batteries and drivetrain system components. Instead, Ford has committed to accelerating development of next-generation hybrid-electric power plants in Britain, in collaboration with Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover. This engineering study is expected to yield more than 100 new hybrid-electric vehicle models and derivatives.
