Corporate Social Responsibility/Wildlife
Through initiatives like the Ford Wildlife Foundation and Ford World Vision Water Project, we support our environment and social development projects that seek to conserve our natural world and uplift and empower communities.
Heritage
We’ve been an active participant in the South African motor industry for over 96 years, since the first Ford Model T cars were assembled in a disused wool shed in Port Elizabeth way back in 1923.
Brand & Product
Ford has always produced icons. From the legendary Ford Cortina and Ford Escort to the category-defining Ranger and Mustang, we’ve constantly looked to push innovation and future-focused design that becomes an integral part of people’s lives.
Corporate Business
We don’t just build progressive cars. We also progress our industry through investments in plant and infrastructure and progress our people through education, training and skills development – empowering them to support their families and wider communities.
Dealers
Our nationwide dealership network is the frontline of our business. Their exceptional dedication and customer support is key to the Ford experience – from helping you to find the ideal Ford to keeping your vehicle well serviced, they are an integral part of your Ford journey.
