In 2012 we will go further to meet the needs of our customers, the challenges of our industry and the issues confronting our world. We believe the result of our efforts will be continuing profitable growth for all of our stakeholders. In the coming year we expect overall industry sales volumes to grow worldwide and we will continue to introduce great products at a rapid pace. At the same time, we will continue our efforts to improve our cost structure and strengthen our balance sheet. The automobile industry continues to face a number of challenges, including ongoing economic uncertainty, rising fuel and commodity costs, and the need to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, growing worldwide sales volumes, particularly in developing markets, are raising concerns about traffic congestion in major cities. We plan to meet these challenges head on, with best-in-class vehicles that lead in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value. We now offer advanced fuel-saving technologies across a full line of vehicles, as well as a variety of electrified vehicles. By next year our innovative EcoBoost engine, which delivers up to 20 percent better fuel economy without sacrificing performance, will be available in more than 90 percent of our North America vehicle portfolio and nearly 80 percent of our vehicles globally. We also are intensifying our efforts to develop vehicles that communicate with each other and the world around them to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion. Last year we doubled our investment in the development of wirelessly connected intelligent vehicles and we became the first automaker to build prototypes for demonstration across the U.S. As we did to address concerns about sustainability, our “Blueprint for Mobility” plan directs our future efforts and investments in this area, so that we will be the leader in wireless communication technology. I am proud of the outstanding job that has been done by our employees around the world. Working together as a global team has enabled us to reward our shareholders and other stakeholders. But the success we have achieved so far is just a starting point, not a finish line. In 2012 we will go further to build great products, a strong business and a better world. Thank you for your continued support of our efforts. William Clay Ford, Jr. Executive Chairman March 14, 2012 2 Ford Motor Company | 2011 Annual Report A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO “We believe the challenges we face as a society present us with an opportunity to add value for everyone, including our shareholders.” Ford Motor Company continued on its path of profitable growth in 2011. Around the world we are delivering best-in-class vehicles to our customers. Our cost structure has been dramatically improved and our balance sheet greatly strengthened. We have taken a leadership role in addressing issues of global concern. Now we want to go further. Ford is a growing company operating in a rapidly expanding global automotive market. We have increased our product investments to meet this rising demand. We are confident that we will continue to increase our worldwide sales and improve our operating margins. The result will be profitable growth for all of our stakeholders. Let me explain how we will achieve this goal. Great Products Success in the automobile industry begins with great products. More than five years ago we consolidated our regional automotive operations into one global product development organization to fully leverage our worldwide resources and maximize economies of scale. We continued to invest heavily in new products, even as we faced difficult economic conditions. As a result, we now have a full family of outstanding vehicles with segment-leading quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value. In 2011 these exciting new products helped us achieve our third consecutive year of higher market share in the United States. We also had a higher share in Asia Pacific Africa and three consecutive quarters of year- over-year share gains in Europe. Our product momentum will continue in 2012 with the launch of a number of new vehicles, including the introduction of the all-new Ford Fusion and Mondeo, Escape and Kuga, EcoSport in South America, and the B-MAX in Europe. Industry-wide vehicle sales are expected to rise significantly in the next few years, driven by accelerated expansion in developing markets, recovery in mature markets, and sales of smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles. We expect our sales to increase to about 8 million units by mid-decade, up about 50 percent from 5.3 million units in 2010. Because of significant growth in the region, by 2020 nearly one-third of our sales will come from Asia Pacific Africa, more than doubling the current percentage of global sales volume we achieve in this region.
