Ford Around the World

Around the world, Ford aims to deliver profitable growth for all. In all of our regions, we are taking actions to reduce the environmental impact of our products and facilities, support positive social change and ensure economic viability for long-term growth. Through the end of 2013, our business was organized into four regional segments: North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific Africa.¹

Gearing Up for Growth in Asia Pacific Africa

The Asia Pacific Africa region is our fastest-growing market. China and India, in particular, are expected to continue to experience rapid and substantial growth in the next 10 years. In 2013, we introduced eight new vehicles in the region.

Providing Consumer Choice in South America

We continue to offer our customers in South America a wide range of choices, including the new generation Ford Fusion Hybrid. We are also adapting our global vehicles with advanced flex-fuel technology, enabling the use of locally produced ethanol.

Reducing Emissions in Europe

Ford offers one of the broadest low-carbon-dioxide (CO₂) vehicle portfolios in Europe, including our ECOnetic lineup of low-CO₂ vehicles with diesel powertrains, as well as vehicles powered by our advanced EcoBoost® gasoline engines. We began offering the all-electric Ford Focus Electric in Europe in 2013, and we will launch the C‑MAX Energi plug-in hybrid and a hybrid version of the Mondeo in 2014.
