车辆背景与资料

Ford Motor Company(通常称为Ford,有时缩写为FoMoCo)是一家总部位于美国密歇根州迪尔伯恩的跨国汽车制造商。它由Henry Ford创立,并于1903年6月16日注册成立。该公司以Ford品牌销售乘用车和商用车,并以Lincoln品牌销售豪华汽车。公司在纽约证券交易所上市,股票代码为单个字母F,并由Ford家族控制。他们持有少数股权,但拥有多数投票权。

Ford引入了大规模制造汽车的方法,并通过精心设计的制造流程(以移动装配线为典型)实现了对工业劳动力的大规模管理。到1914年,这些方法已闻名世界,统称为Fordism。Ford的前英国子公司Jaguar和Land Rover分别于1989年和2000年被收购。它们于2008年3月出售给印度汽车制造商Tata Motors。Ford从1999年到2010年拥有瑞典汽车制造商Volvo。2010年第三季度,Ford停止了Mercury品牌,该品牌自1938年以来在美国、加拿大、墨西哥和中东地区销售高端汽车。

Ford是第二大美国汽车制造商,仅次于General Motors,也是全球第六大汽车制造商,根据2022年的汽车产量,最大的是Toyota、Volkswagen Group、Hyundai、Stellantis和General Motors。该公司于1956年上市,但Ford家族通过特殊的B类股份保留了40%的投票权。在2008-2010年汽车行业危机期间,公司财务状况艰难,但不像其他两家美国主要汽车制造商那样需要联邦政府的救助。Ford Motors此后恢复了盈利,并在2018年《财富》500强榜单中排名第11位,基于2017年全球收入1567亿美元。2023年,Ford生产了440万辆汽车,并在全球雇佣了约17.7万名员工。该公司在中国(Changan Ford和Jiangling Ford)、台湾(Ford Lio Ho)、泰国(AutoAlliance Thailand)和土耳其(Ford Otosan)运营合资企业。Ford持有中国Jiangling Motors 32%的股份。
