History and Background
Ford Motor Company was established on June 16, 1903, by Henry Ford and a group of investors. The company grew from its early automotive manufacturing business into an international vehicle producer with a long connection to commercial transportation.

Today, Ford’s commercial vehicle business combines trucks and vans with services offered through Ford Pro. These resources include fleet software, charging solutions, financing, and vehicle service support for business and government customers.
