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.
