Many different industries in the United States rely on a steady supply of aluminum, including food and beverage, construction, automotive manufacturing, and more. With primary aluminum production in the country on a decline, a number of major companies have teamed up to write a letter to the Department of Energy’s Secretary Jennifer Granhold calling for the American government to directly support the aluminum industry in shifting to clean and sustainable practices to help support this demand.
Constant improvement and innovation is the heart of what drives Ford as an automaker. It’s how classic performance vehicles like the Mustang have stayed relevant for decades, riding the cutting edge of newly available technology. The Mustang GTD has done this yet again with a groundbreaking Drag Reduction system. This sophisticated active aerodynamic technology is illegal for GT3-class race cars and has never been seen before on street legal Fords.
Traversing the intense terrain of Nevada and California with no support crew, no cell phones, and no GPS sounds like a tall order, but for the competitors of the 2023 Rebelle Rally, it’s something they’re ready to take on at full speed. This year’s competition marks the first time that Ford has been an official sponsor for the event, and the automaker is supporting five different teams this year to mark the occasion, including one team that will be competing in the all-electric Mustang Mach-E Rally.
We’ve come a long way in terms of the technology we use to power our travels, and nothing proves that more fully than the upcoming journey of adventure travel content creator Lexie Alford, who goes by the handle @LexieLimitless online. Alford is the youngest person to visit every country in the world, and as of Friday, September 8th, 2023, she’ll be undertaking an exceptional task– traveling around the world in an electric Ford Explorer.
More and more American drivers are switching to electric vehicles every day, and the same is true on the commercial side. There’s a slow but steady rise in the amount of businesses using electric vehicles in their commercial fleets, and some fleets are even entirely electric. With this increase in commercial EVs comes a demand for practical charging solutions, and Ford Pro is ready to deliver with a new charging hardware, the latest addition to its lineup of end-to-end solutions for electric commercial vehicles.
Mustang vehicles of all types are designed to break records and blow minds, and it’s time for a new Mustang model to do just that. Joining the herd this year is the Mustang Dark Horse R: a track-only vehicle that expands on the innate power of the Mustang Dark Horse to become a thrilling and unstoppable racer.
In the past several years, Ford Motor Company has made numerous major commitments towards sustainability and carbon neutrality in all operations, and those efforts extend to the company’s production facilities. The Cologne Electric Vehicle Center will become Ford’s first carbon-neutral facility to open globally, a huge step towards achieving the goal of total carbon neutrality across Ford’s entire European footprint by 2035.
As automakers across the entire industry begin to add electrified vehicles to their lineups, one thing still remains a major barrier to American drivers adopting them in large numbers– charging. The public charging infrastructure in the country is growing, but it is still very much in its early stages, and until it’s more developed, EVs will still remain a minority on the roads. Together with Ford and a number of other organizations in a cross-industry consortium, this is what the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation is hoping to address.
Ford made the futuristic concept of hands-free driving a possibility for the vehicle owners of today when they introduced Ford BlueCruise to North America, and now the company is doing it once again and breaking ground in Europe. As of a recent announcement, Ford BlueCruise technology has been given regulatory approval from the UK’s Department for Transport for use on the motorway network in Great Britain.
The Ford Mustang has been around for decades, and its popularity among fans has been as much of a constant as its high-level performance. This iconic vehicle has been able to shift with the changing times without losing the core of what the Mustang really is, and as the vehicle celebrates its 59th birthday, recently released data from S&P Global Mobility has showed that over the last ten years combined, the Ford Mustang has been the best-selling sports car in the world.
