Ford produces and sells efficient, fun, high mileage vehicles in the rest of the world. But Ford doesn't sell them in the U.S., yet it wonders why its US market share has declined from 5% since 2000 while fuel prices have tripled.
Bill Ford is starting to turn the tide at the firm that bears his name. He championed the charge to build & sell efficient Ford & Mercury hybrid SUVs in the US and plans to introduce hybrid sedans in the US by 2008. Now Ford plans to invest $1.5 billion in a wide range of efficient vehicles getting up to 70 mpg.
Ford has decided to do the R&D England - let's hope Ford brings the models to the US and trains US engineers so we can start exporting this advanced technology.
