Superior Value From EVs, Commercial Business, Connected Services Is Strategic Focus of Today’s ‘Delivering Ford+’ Capital Markets Day
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
- Company to detail priority areas of Ford+ plan for growth and value creation based on ‘always-on’ customer relationships and leadership in electric vehicles, connected services
- Expects 40% of #ford global vehicle volume to be all-electric by 2030; raises planned electrification spending to $30+ billion by 2025, including development of IonBoost batteries
- Announces creation of #ford Pro vehicle services and distribution business, fully dedicated to high productivity requirements of commercial and government customers
DEARBORN, Mich., May 26, 2021 – Zero-emission electric vehicles and advanced connectivity are transforming commercial and personal transportation, and #ford is leading that revolution – with compelling services and platforms based on cutting-edge electrical architectures and battery technologies.
The company is applying innovation in those and other areas to stand up #ford Pro, making #ford the first #auto manufacturer with a fully dedicated commercial vehicle services and distribution business.
And the underlying Ford+ plan for growth promises always-on benefits for customers – along with new ways for investors to think about how they value the company.
Those are expected to be primary takeaways Wednesday when #ford CEO #jimfarley and other senior leaders expand on the company’s customer-focused strategic ambitions and actions in a virtual meeting with financial analysts and other stakeholders.
The #ford event – themed “Delivering Ford+” – will open for registration at 9:15 a.m. EDT today and will start promptly at 9:30 a.m., with access and supporting material at shareholder.ford.com.
“I’m excited about what Ford+ means for our customers, who will get new and better experiences by pairing our iconic, world-class vehicles with connected technology that constantly gets better over time,” said Farley. “We will deliver lower costs, stronger loyalty and greater returns across all our customers.
“This is our biggest opportunity for growth and value creation since Henry #ford started to scale the Model T, and we’re grabbing it with both hands.”
Delivering Ford+
During the event, Farley will relate how #ford is breaking away from the transactional, build-and-sell business model that has typified the #auto industry for decades. Instead, Ford+ is characterized by close, enduring customer relationships – enabled by the company’s foundational strengths, improving financial performance, and capabilities and investments in disruptive technologies.
At the core of those capabilities is Blue Oval Intelligence, Ford’s next-generation, cloud-based platform for integrating electrical, power distribution, computing and software systems in connected #ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Presentations will detail where, why and how the company is headed with fully electric vehicles, commercial solutions and connected services – and how customers will benefit. CFO #johnlawler said #ford is allocating capital to those priority areas to produce value for customers and shareholders.
“We’re fueling Ford+ by further strengthening our core #automotive operations and generating consistently healthy cash flow that will fund growth and create value,” said Lawler.
The company expects to deliver an 8% adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margin in 2023.1
Today’s event will address how #ford is:
Leading the Electrification Revolution
- Accelerating investments and increasing planned total spending on electrification, including battery development, to more than $30 billion by 2025 – while deriving efficiencies from Ford’s flexible #ev architecture and modular technologies.
- Anticipating 40% of Ford’s global vehicle volume to be fully electric by 2030, including from:
- Mustang Mach-E, which is bringing new customers to #ford – 70% of buyers, to date
- The F-150 Lightning, an all-electric version of the world’s most popular pickup truck, which has amassed 70,000 customer reservations since it was unveiled one week ago, and
- E-Transit commercial vans, which will be on the road later this year.
- Investing in battery technology and equipping #ford to design, engineer and manufacture its own batteries, with key developments including:
- Creating #ford Ion Park, a global center of battery excellence comprising more than 150 experts in battery chemistries, testing, manufacturing and value-chain management who will boost battery range and lower costs to customers and Ford
- Vertically integrating battery technology with an extensive range of #ev batteries – IonBoost lithium ion; IonBoost Pro lithium iron phosphate for commercial vehicles; and long-range, low-cost solid-state batteries based on Ford’s own engineering and know-how from Solid Power, in which the company holds an equity stake, and
- Forming a joint venture, BlueOvalSK, with SK Innovation to manufacture battery cells and arrays at two plants in the U.S. for future #ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Creating a Business Dedicated to Commercial Customers
- Establishing #ford Pro, a global vehicle services and distribution business within #ford devoted to commercial and government customers, and led by Ted Cannis, who’s been named CEO and a #corporate officer.
- Cannis has been head of Ford’s North America CV business and previously managed the Team Edison #ev development group.
- Providing customers with greater value and higher productivity through:
- The industry’s most comprehensive and flexible range of electric and internal-combustion commercial vehicles
- Digital and physical services that can help optimize and maintain customer fleets
- Public, depot and employee home charging of EVs for the next day’s work, and
- Bundled financing of vehicles, services and charging.
- Increasing the commercial market for hardware and adjacent and new services that’s addressable by #ford – with anticipated company revenue of $45 billion by 2025, up from $27 billion in 2019.
Connecting With Customers via Connected Services
- Having about 1 million vehicles that are capable of receiving over-the-air system updates on the road by the end of this year, exceeding Tesla’s volume by July 2022, and scaling to
33 million OTA-enabled #ford and Lincoln vehicles by 2028. - Strengthening customer relationships with digitally enabled tools like #ford Pass and Lincoln Way, online ordering, simplified financing and renewal options, vehicle pick-up and delivery, and mobile repairs.
- Extending digital lifestyles by fully integrating best-in-class technology from, e.g., Apple, Amazon, Google and Baidu.
- Speeding detection and resolution of quality issues using connected data – helping to raise customer satisfaction and lower warranty costs.
- Deploying distinctive connected functions like Ford’s BlueCruise driver-assist technologies, new features and upgraded software content, and #ev charging to improve the user experience – and capitalize on what is projected to be a $20 billion market for such services by 2030.
