Ford Contract Hire and Car Leasing

About Ford

Alternatively known as the Blue Oval, Ford has grown into one of the largest motor companies in the world since founder Henry Ford first introduced the production line system to the earliest Ford models.

Ford is the UK's most popular manufacturer, selling more cars in total than any other brand and holding the top two best-selling model positions in 2010 with the Ford Fiesta supermini and Ford Focus small family car.

With a vast model range covering smaller city cars and superminis; larger saloons; people carriers and SUVs, Ford sells nearly six million vehicles worldwide every year, making it the fourth biggest selling car maker in the world based on sales.

Historically, Ford has been at the forefront of innovative car design for over 100 years and has been a leader in introducing new technology into its models since its inception.

Ford has continued this tradition in the present day, with the introduction of the low-CO2 Ford Econetic range and a series of EcoBoost petrol engines.

The result is a steady decline in CO2 emissions across the Ford model line-up, which has led to reduced rates of road and company car tax for business users.

Alternatively, Ford sells a handful of fearsome performance models, with the Ford Focus RS500 top of the tree. Ford competes in various motorsports worldwide.

After selling Aston Martin, Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar, the Ford Motor Company has focused its resources on the Ford car range and has plans to release hybrid and electric versions of some of its more popular models.

About Ford Contract Hire

Ford is a firm favourite with business users and fleet operators and currently offers over a dozen models for leasing and contract hire.

Many of the Ford models are leaders in their respective segments in terms of reliability, running costs and popularity and are ideal for businesses looking to minimise the cost of their fleet operations without sacrificing quality.

The Ford Ka city car and Ford Fiesta supermini are small, reliable cars suitable for city driving. Both models offer lower running costs and company car tax rates for downsizers. The Ford Fusion adds more size to the Fiesta’s platform.

The Ford Focus is often held up as the segment leader in the small family car sector, and is available in three-door and five-door hatch, coupe-cabriolet, ST hot hatch and RS performance variants.

The larger Ford Mondeo is the most popular Ford model with business and fleet users and is available in both hatchback, saloon and estate variants.

People carriers such as the compact C-Max compact MPV and larger S-Max offer more interior space and versatility. For added luxury and practicality, the seven-seat Ford Galaxy completes Ford’s MPV range.

The Ford Kuga 4x4 is a spacious and versatile model, offering SUV styling and ability in the crossover SUV market for Ford.

As a result of its strong model range, Ford has established itself as one of the most popular manufacturers for business and fleet users.
