We mined Ford's acquisitions, investments, partnerships, and joint ventures to discern the company's strategic priorities.
Ford has been undergoing a major transformation.
After bringing on a new CEO in 2020 and reprioritizing its investment strategy, the company has aggressively pursued plans to build an ecosystem for automated, connected, and electric vehicles. It has maintained a dual focus on passenger and commercial markets.
At the same time, the company has experienced considerable growth. Its stock price has more than doubled over the past 3 years — and it has also watched its market cap pass that of one of its largest domestic competitors, General Motors.
Using CB Insights data, we uncovered the 4 most important strategic priorities highlighted by Ford’s recent acquisitions, investments, partnerships, and joint ventures. We then categorized companies by their business relationships with Ford across these priorities:
- Commercial vehicles & services
- Connectivity
- Driving automation
- Electrification
