If you believe that Ford produces all its engines independently, you are very wrong. Here’s who is the partner of the house of the Blue Oval.
Ford is among the most famous manufacturers in the world, having been one of the first to produce cars. Founder Henry Ford decided to set up a factory in Michigan in 1903 that would revolutionize the very concept of building cars, using an assembly line and conveyor belt for the first time.

Subsequently, all the major car manufacturers adopted the methods of the American company, making known the phenomenon of assembly used in modern industries by Harry Ford. Basic to make more vehicles the US entrepreneur thought of optimizing times with the work of several workers, suitable for assembling a complex product.
Ford has come a long way since then, producing over 170 models that have become known in every corner of the earth. In fact, it was also one of the first houses to expand into the main European, Asian and American realities. In 1929 Ford already had expansionary aims for the acquisition of top houses, such as Opel and, later, Land Rover. Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo and even a percentage stake in Mazda.

It hasn’t always been all rosy for the Detroit brand. Also accusing periods of very deep crisis, in some phases of transformation of the brandFord was forced to lay off numerous employees. Today it has returned to being one of the strongest brands in the world and, after years of absence, it will once again be a protagonist in Formula One, in collaboration with the reigning champion team of Red Bull Racing.

It will be very curious to evaluate the impact that the Detroit home will have on the Milton Keynes team. In fact, Red Bull Racing has always won all the races this season thanks to the contribution of the Japanese Honda technicians. After adopting the Cosworth and Ferrari engines in the early years in Formula 1Red Bull Racing, after the glories with Renault, has found the square with the Honda Power Units.
Ford has decided to ride the trend, returning to Formula 1 starting from 2026. In fact, it has seen the possibility, thanks to the new regulation, of having a balance between the thermal part and the electric motor, favoring the green image of the American brand . The decision to focus on cars on tap could also turn out to be a sensational own goalat least in some realities like ours.
In the United States, on the other hand, electricity is starting to take shape also thanks to a very extensive infrastructural network that will allow the cars of the Blue Oval to recharge at Tesla’s super fast charging stations. Aficionados of historic models like the Fiesta will have to look elsewhere, renouncing the reliability of thermal and diesel engines that have always distinguished Detroit cars.
The engines of the American house are not, however, all produced in Michigan by the Ford Motor Company, since there are a partnership for many years with the French group PSA. The latter is now part of Stellantis, together with FCA, establishing new mobility parameters.
