Ford Motor Company owns a diverse portfolio of automotive brands and strategic holdings, primarily through its Ford Blue (internal combustion vehicles), Ford Model e (electric vehicles), and Ford Pro (commercial vehicles) divisions. The most significant companies under its umbrella are the Lincoln luxury brand and a controlling stake in Rivian, an electric vehicle maker. Historically, Ford's ownership included iconic brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, and Aston Martin, all of which were sold off between 2007 and 2010 to streamline operations and focus on the core Ford brand. A notable non-controlling investment is its roughly 2% stake in Rivian.
Beyond its own brands, Ford has engaged in strategic joint ventures to access key markets and technologies. A major one is Ford Otosan, a joint venture with Turkey's Koç Holding that leads the development and production of Ford's commercial vehicles in Europe. In China, Ford operates through Changan Ford, a partnership with Changan Automobile. While not an ownership in the traditional sense, Ford also has a longstanding, symbiotic relationship with Ford Credit, its captive finance arm that provides crucial loans and leases to customers and dealers.
