Even though Ford is not the oldest or the biggest automaker on this planet, it is credited for being the pioneer in elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences that allowed for mass-production of automobiles.

2. Although it is not the oldest car maker on the planet, Ford
dramatically changed the industry by introducing large-scale
production of cars through the use of assembly lines. The mass
manufacturing of cars reduced the per unit cost, thereby
allowing average earners to own a Ford. These factors led to
massive consumption. Attesting to this is its being in the 10th
biggest company in terms of revenue in the 2011 Fortune 500
and 25th position in the Fortune Global 500 of the same year.
Ford has always been regarded as a dependable brand. Since
2007, Ford has been given more initial quality survey honors by
J.D. Power and Associates than any other car manufacturer. In
the J.D. Power’s 2011 Vehicle Dependability Study, Ford had
five cars that were identified as being in the top three of their
segments. These segments include midsize sporty cars,
midsize and large cars, as well as pickups.
Across the globe, Ford
consistently smashes records.
Case in point is the Ford Figo, a
subcompact made and sold in
India and South Africa, which is
awarded with at least twenty
Indian auto industry honors
effectively making it the most awarded car in India to date. Last
2011, quite a few auto magazines have even identified it as the
country’s Car of the Year. This is because Ford has managed
to sell about 48,100 Figo cars that year, which would mean
around 7,000 monthly. Now, you might be asking, why is Ford
Figo so saleable?
