The Ford Motor Company is one of the world’s largest automakers. It was founded by Henry Ford in 1903. Hemade the company famous for mass-producing cheap family cars on moving assembly lines. The Model T Ford isan important part of automobile history. His production methods were copied by companies all over the world. The company has stayed in family hands since the beginning, making it one of the largest family-controlled businesses in the world today. Ford has an annual revenue of over $100 billion and employs around 250,000 people worldwide. The company also owns Sweden’s Volvo and has shares in Japan’s Mazda and the UK’sAston Martin. The faltering global economy means most of Ford’s profits now come from financing car loansthrough the Ford Motor Credit Company.
福特汽車公司是世界上最大的汽車制造商之一。福特又亨利·福特于1903年創(chuàng)建。該公司因在生產(chǎn)線上大批量生產(chǎn)經(jīng)濟型家庭用車而著名。福特T型轎車在汽車史上占有重要的地位。全球的其他企業(yè)都相繼模仿它的生產(chǎn)模式。該企業(yè)從一開始就是家族企業(yè)，也是當今世界最大的家族企業(yè)。每年的收入超過了10億美金，全球擁有大約25萬員工。該企業(yè)旗下還擁有瑞典的沃爾沃轎車，在日本的馬自達，以及英國的阿斯頓馬丁都有其股份。衰退的全球經(jīng)濟意味著福特的大部分的收入都是通過福特信貸公司的汽車貸款而來。
