introductions around the world. We are streamlining and
globalizing our product development process to build more
of the vehicles that people really want, faster and with higher quality.
That includes vehicles with more striking designs, better fuel efficiency
and safety, and even greater value.
Our focus is on meeting the real needs of our customers for today
and tomorrow, and our plans include an expanded commitment to
small cars, more crossovers, and more capable and fuel efficient trucks.
We are leveraging global resources to polish the Ford Blue Oval worldwide,
putting in place an exciting vision for our Lincoln and Mercury brands,
building on the success of Mazda around the world and growing our
premier automotive brands – Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover.
By the end of 2008, we will speed up the time it takes us to get
new products to market by 30 to 50 percent. In the critically important
North American market, 70 percent of our Ford, Lincoln and Mercury
lineup by volume will be all-new or significantly freshened by then.
In 2009 and beyond, the product onslaught accelerates even further.
By working together as a single global team and focusing relentlessly
on the needs of our customers, we will build a successful enterprise that
serves the needs of all of its stakeholders and adds value for its shareholders.
