Ford® is the most recognizable name in the auto industry. What started as a workshop behind Henry Ford’s home in 1896 has since become the most reliable and innovative automotive manufacturer in history. If you’re wondering what makes Ford cars so special in a market with so much competition, here are a few things you may not have known about this industry leader.

A long Line of Ford Innovation

Henry Ford wanted more than to simply manufacture vehicles; he wanted to design and sell vehicles that were both efficient and safe for everyone. Here are some innovations created for the Model-T that are still used today.

  • Mass Production: Everybody knows that Ford created the assembly line, and it is still the main source of automobile creation in the world. There are some companies in Europe that have refrained from this method; but, unless you have a cool million to spend, you’ll not own one of those cars for a while.
  • Traffic Flow: Ford decided he wanted the driver to sit on the left side of the car. With that decision, he set forth the driving architecture for many parts of the world.
  • Three-Point Suspension: As a farmer, Ford wanted his cars to handle well on off-road routes, even though the main roads weren’t that smooth either. We still use the same triangular configuration to gear the front and rear axles.
  • fordA Separation of Head and Block: Previously, the head and block were cast as a single entity, which made repairs and replacements arduous. This separation strategy helped to move cars forward in further technologies and has continued as the best option today.

And the Innovation Continues

Ford has partnered with Microsoft to create some of the smartest mass-produced cars and constantly competes with all other manufacturers in fuel efficiency and safety. New technologies being explored by Ford are human-machine interaction, improved electric vehicles, enhanced battery technologies, and portable re-imaging for transportable health care.
