Ford Brings Autonomous & Electric Vehicle Business to Corktown

WESTLAND, Mich.,––Ford, one of Detroit's Big Three, has been a leader in the autonomous and mobility space for a while now and has played a large role in the growth of electric vehicles in the market. Ford is bringing its ultimate mission of improving the entire transportation system and people's overall quality of life to an up and coming neighborhood in Detroit. Ford is relocating their autonomous and electric vehicle business to Corktown.

220+ employees from Ford's key business and strategy teams, who work on autonomous and electric vehicle business, will soon be working in a 45,000 sq. ft. historic building they call "The Factory". Ford has chose Corktown for relocation in hopes of creating new business in a resurgent, diverse neighborhood with industrial roots. Not to mention, the pure urban setting will serve as a perfect test platform for the mobility solutions these teams will be working towards.

Beginning early next year, these teams will be studying and experiencing the mobility-based challenges Detroiters face each and every day. Some of the challenges these teams want to find solutions for include: pollution, congestion, accidents, and other issues with transportation that have an effect on the quality of life of citizens.

For Executive Chairman, Bill Ford, this relocation means something more to him. Long ago, his family emigrated from County Cork Ireland to what is now known as the Corktown neighborhood in Detroit, appropriately named by the Irish immigrants. For the company, this relocation means a deeper commitment to where the company first got its start. Further, this move Corktown will hopefully bring some new life to the area.

“Returning to Detroit is particularly meaningful, because it is where my great-grandfather originally set out to pursue his passion and where we have always called our home,” said Ford. “We are planting a special piece of our company’s future in one of the city’s great neighborhoods, because we believe in Detroit, its people and what we can build together.”

By having these key strategic teams together in a truly collaborative space in a flourishing neighborhood where within the answers to their work lie, we expect big moves in the autonomous, electric vehicle, and mobility industry from Ford! We congratulate them on their most recent business move to a neighborhood in our beloved city and look forward to their accomplishments in the New Year. 

If you're looking to get in on Ford's latest and greatest consumer products, we'd love to show you what's available at North Brothers Ford. Included with many new Ford vehicles is the FordPass app which can help solve some of your current mobility issues like parking in the city, as well as advanced driver assistive features, like Adaptive Cruise Control, that provide a glimpse into the future of autonomy.

Ford - The Official Vehicle of America's Thanksgiving Parade

WESTLAND, Mich.,––Did you know this year's America's Thanksgiving Parade will be the 91st edition?! Ford, the Official Vehicle of America's Thanksgiving Parade will be rolling out a celebration on Woodward Ave. in Detroit on a fleet of Ford SUVs on Thursday, November 23rd.

Each year a new theme is showcased on Woodward Avenue as the parade rolls through on Thanksgiving, and this time, it's about Woodward! The theme is appropriately named "Woodward!! Avenue of Dreams!" in honor of the revitalization of downtown Detroit, including the new QLine. The parade will be led by the all-new Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer, and the newest member of the family, the Ford EcoSport.

If you're a fan of rap music, you might know the name Big Sean. Hailing from the city of Detroit, he'll be back this year acting as the parade's coveted grand marshal alongside one of Detroit's favorite and recently retired news anchor, Carmen Harlan. They will be presenting the parade as a nod to Ford's history of innovation and future in autonomous innovation and smart mobility.

Ford has not only teamed up with the Parade Company, but also Gleaners Community Food Bank to promote feeding the people in our community who need it most. Ford is also again partnering with the Detroit Area Agency on Aging for the second year in a row to assemble meals for their Holiday Meals on Wheels program. If you're interested in giving back this Thanksgiving, you can donate to Gleaners online at gcfb.org!

New Ford F-150 First Truck to Offer LED Headlamps

WESTLAND, Mich - The New Ford F-150 is the First Truck to Offer LED Headlamps that are brighter, tougher and more efficient than any other pickup headlamp. Typically, headlamps need to be replaced way before the end of the vehicle's life. Ford is doing away with old habits with the creation of the very first LED headlamps on the all-new F-150 that will last as long, or longer, than the truck itself. 

Ford's latest innovation is the first for light-duty pickup trucks. It uses 63 percent less energy than the usual halogen bulbs that we see in competitor's trucks. These headlamps have been developed from an outstanding form of technology, that makes the quality, durability and aesthetics of the headlamps superior to all other pickups on the road. You can literally stand -that's right we said STAND- on one of these 11-pound headlamps and the lens will not budge. These LED headlamps have been exposed to extreme heat, served as a bullseye for rocks, stones and ice as well as spent some time soaking in salt water. What were the effects? Absolutely nothing.

LED happens to be the fastest-growing segment in lighting technology. We see it in our smartphones, TVs, tablets and other recreational products are used on a regular basis. The LED headlamps on the all-new F-150 use a simpler form of technology, which makes for a longer-lasting, more durable product. The design of the headlamp magnifies light and better illuminates the road for F-150 drivers. The New Ford F-150 is the First Truck to Offer LED Headlamps and the company expects this trend to grow into "the next big thing" in the auto industry.

At North Brothers Ford, we proudly offer the latest and greatest Ford vehicles. You can see our entire inventory of new Ford cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers online! See something you like?
