Sales

We’ve been Britain’s best-selling car brands for over 30 years, and our commercial vehicles have been market leaders since 1965.

We currently sell around 440,000 cars and commercial vehicles each year. And one of our biggest success stories has been the Ford Focus: it’s been the UK’s most popular car each year since its launch in 1998.

Product development

Our Research and Development Centre in Essex works on new engines, commercial vehicles and transmissions.

It’s home to over 3,000 engineers and extensive R&D facilities, including high speed and special surface tracks. There are also indoor laboratories including rolling roads, crash simulators and test cells that can house up to 15 vehicles and 100 engines.

All of this means we can really put prototype engines and vehicles through severe testing regimes. That way we can ensure they meet our stringent quality standards, long before they reach you.

Manufacturing

We have four major manufacturing sites around the UK, employing thousands of people.

At our Dagenham plant, we produce around a million diesel engines a year, from a 1.4 up to a high performance V8 unit.

Thanks to its strategic position on the Thames, plus excellent motorway and rail connections, Dagenham is also our UK transport hub: thousands of vehicles, engines and components pass in and out daily.

Our plant in Bridgend, Wales, is the centre of our petrol engine production, for everything from a 1.25 all the way up to a 4.4 litre V8 engine.

At Dagenham and Bridgend we make and supply engines to other car brands.

The historic port of Southampton is home to the iconic Ford Transit.

And finally, our Halewood plant is run jointly with transmission specialists Getrag. It’s situated on the same site where Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles are assembled. This specialist gearbox plant supplies Ford cars and commercial vehicles.
