Ford Motor Company's advertising spending in the United States from 2007 to 2018 (in billion U.S. dollars)

Ford Motors: revenue and research
In 2018, Ford Motors generated 160 billion U.S. dollars in revenue, ranking behind automotive heavyweights like Volkswagen and Toyota Motors, but managed to stay in the top five leading car manufacturers worldwide.
The company cited global redesigning for the lack of higher revenues, like the decision to create a standalone Chinese business unit, and an alliance with Volkswagen AG to jointly develop commercial vehicles beginning in 2020. This alliance is aimed at efficient product development, and saving on investment costs, but won’t entail a cross-ownership.
The automotive giant spent over eight billion U.S. dollars on research and development in 2018. Ford states that they are now focusing on smart vehicles built on trusted self-driving systems. The company established Ford Smart Mobility LLC in 2016 to develop and invest in mobility services.
