Henry Ford is a legend of the automotive industry for a good reason – the Ford Motor Company has become an absolute powerhouse in the world of car manufacturers and sellers. Founded in 1903, the Ford Motor Company now owns the Ford, Mercury, Lincoln and Volvo brands as well as a small stake in Mazda and Aston Martin. In 2008, the Ford Company sold its UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover to India's Tata Motors. It was Henry Ford that would introduce the moving assembly line method which enabled manufacturing automobiles on a large scale possible and allowed the management of a large industrial workforce. This changed the world of manufacturing automobiles in a significant and extremely beneficial way.

Ford began developing hybrid technology in 2004 upon an agreement reached with Toyota to share patents so Ford was able to access some of the hybrid technology which Toyota had developed and patented. In exchange, Toyota is able to access some of the patents held by Ford. Ford expects to have a major portion of its vehicle lineup to be comprised of electric vehicles within the next ten years.

Ford remains one of the 'Big 3' car manufacturers in North America. While the road has not always been easy for Ford, it has managed to survive in a market when that isn't an easy task to accomplish.
