What does Ford specialize in?
Ford specializes in designing, building, and selling a broad range of motor vehicles—passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and commercial vans—while also offering financing and mobility services through its global brands.
Beyond traditional autos, Ford is shaping a modern mobility platform across three operating pillars: Model e for electric vehicles and software, Ford Blue for legacy internal-combustion and vehicle engineering, and Ford Pro for commercial and fleet customers. The company also offers financing through Ford Credit and is expanding connected services and charging infrastructure to support a global customer base.

- Automotive design and manufacturing across the full spectrum of vehicles—cars, light trucks, SUVs, and commercial vans—supported by a global manufacturing and supply chain network.
- Electrification and software (Model e), including fully electric models, hybrids, and software-driven features such as connected services and over-the-air updates.
- Commercial solutions (Ford Pro), focusing on fleet management, productivity tools, and vehicles tailored for business customers and operations at scale.
- Financing and mobility services, provided through Ford Credit for financing, leasing, and related customer support, along with partnerships and services that enable mobility beyond traditional ownership.
