Abstract

Ford Motor began a manufacturing revolution with its mass production assembly lines in the early 1900s. Now the company is firmly entrenched in the status quo as one of the world's largest makers of cars and trucks. It makes vehicles with such brands as Aston Martin, Ford, Jaguar, Lincoln, Mercury, and Volvo. Among its biggest successes are the Ford Taurus and F-Series pickup. Ford owns a controlling (33%) stake in Mazda and has purchased BMW's Land Rover SUV operations. The finance subsidiary, Ford Motor Credit, is the US's #1 auto finance company. It also owns Hertz, the world's #1 car-rental firm. The Ford family owns about 40% of the company's voting stock.
