Ford has been making big strides recently in the process of making electric cars more accessible to Americans with releases of all-electric vehicles such as the F-150 Lightning, the Mustang Mach-E, and the E-Transit. This week, Ford announced another important development– a partnership with Redwood Materials to begin a battery recycling operation. This will be a huge component of Ford’s plan to produce electric vehicles at scale in the United States.

It’s been a full decade since the Ford Motor Company discontinued its full-compact iteration of the Ford Ranger. Since then, the Blue Oval brand has revived the Ranger nameplate as a successful mid-size pickup model.

In addition, it appears that the Ford Motor Company is ready to jump back into the compact pickup game once again, as the upcoming 2022 Ford Maverick, a fully hybrid compact truck, was just revealed earlier this month.

Last year, the Ford Motor Company officially filed a trademark for the name “Warthog,” which multiple trusted sources later determined was associated with an upcoming Bronco variant. 

This was confirmed just one month later, when Ford Authority spied a carefully covered 2023 Bronco Warthog prototype. Now, Ford Authority has spotted an official Bronco Warthog, and believe it or not — it looks like it will include a hybrid model!

Just last week, the Ford Motor Company’s e-scooter subsidiary Spin announced a recent international partnership with the software company Tortoise which will bring Spin S-200 remotely operated e-scooters to cities in both North American and European cities before the end of the year.

What a way to kick off 2021! Two of Ford’s most highly-anticipated models, the 2021 Ford F-150 and the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, have just been named the 2021 Truck of the Year and Utility Vehicle of the year by a 50-member independent jury of print and broadcast journalists from all across the U.S. and Canada.

Earlier this month, the Ford Motor Company was once again recognized for its leadership in the world of corporate sustainability. 

This recognition was awarded by CDP, a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage environmental impact. As a result of their continued commitment to tackling climate change issues and protecting water security, Ford has earned a spot on CDP’s prestigious “A List.”

Typically, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. However, when it comes to this year’s “Ford Auto Nights” SEMA Show, that doesn't have to be the case.

After the ongoing global pandemic knocked out this year’s Sin City showcase, the SEMA show decided to go forward with a first-ever virtual version. Courtesy of Brian Hoskins Ford, Check out the five hot and heavily-modded rides that the Blue Oval brand brought to the party this year.

Did you know that according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 54? In fact, over 33,000 fatal accidents have occurred each year since 2016.

That’s why Ford has devoted much of their time and energy to working with cities on ways that help make their streets safer. As part of this commitment, Ford  is officially launching an innovative new tool that utilizes connected vehicle technology and artificial intelligence to build smarter, safer systems of transportation.
