THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY STORY CONTINUES
At Ford, we are rooted in our roots and have an exciting future. But what's the point of building the best vehicles in the world if we don't think about the world we're building them for?
From day one, we've empowered people to move forward and innovate to expand their opportunities. Now, with an eye to future generations, we are building more sustainable means of transport, with fuel-efficient engines. And we are on the road to electrification.
Sustainability is a key part of Ford's corporate strategy. With smart manufacturing solutions and an exciting range of high-tech and fuel-efficient options, we're really just getting started.
We are developing new vehicles to complement our electrified icons, such as the Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit , and are investing around €1.8 billion to modernize our vehicle assembly plant in Cologne, Germany, preparing for the our all-electric future .
In the meantime, we have pledged to invest €270 million to transform our vehicle powertrain component manufacturing facility in Halewood, UK, to build electric units for future Ford models.
We are determined to achieve a major goal: by 2030, all of our passenger cars will be fully electric and two-thirds of commercial vehicles will be fully electric or plug-in hybrids . A milestone on this journey is our plan to sell over 600,000 electric cars in Europe by 2026.
We know how important it is to have the infrastructure to support these ambitious plans, and at a basic level, we all need a place to recharge. Ford's BlueOval™ Charge Network can help solve this problem by giving you access to over 300,000 public fast charging stations across Europe with a single membership.
We are working to create safer, more efficient and sustainable transport networks with a broad range of mobility options. We hope to improve everything from traffic flow to parking and create a world with fewer obstacles and limitations.
From making home charging easier to supporting electrified commercial fleets, we're doing everything we can to support our customers' choice to embrace an entirely new way of driving.
As a company, we are also observing our own behaviors and are working hard to improve quality, reduce costs and change and simplify the way we do business. Not only will this help Ford exceed customer expectations, it will make the electric car ownership experience more accessible and rewarding. There is so much to do.
For more information on our values and our determination to make positive contributions to the world around us, please consult our Sustainability Report . Every day, we are striving to achieve our goal of selling only zero-emission vehicles and achieving carbon-neutral facilities, logistics and suppliers by 2035.
As Stuart Rowley, President of Ford Europe points out, "Europeans care about climate change and are ready to take a range of individual actions to combat it. Ford is fully committed to electrification and we are proud to help consumers make the transition to this type." of vehicles".
Are you ready to drive into the future? We want to help build a better world, where everyone is free to move and pursue their dreams. Join us on the journey.
