It's been one year since Ford celebrated 100 years of manufacturing leadership at the Rouge plant — the plant that revolutionized American manufacturing. As technology advances and consumer needs are growing and ever-changing, Ford is working hard to find new ways to improve their trucks. On the day of the Rouge plant's anniversary celebration, Bill Ford announced an all-electric F-150 would be added to the F-Series lineup.

This past July, Ford, along with Roush Performance, presented a personalized Mustang GT at the Experimental Aircraft Association during a charity collaboration project. U.S. Army Air Force Col., and World War II triple ace pilot, Bud Anderson, influenced this one-of-a-kind vehicle. Ford Motor Company is promoting the use of recycled materials for environmentally friendly vehicle parts. Annually, Ford uses roughly 1.2 billion recycled plastic bottles in their vehicles — an average of 250 bottles per vehicle. These recycled bottles are used in the underbody shields on all cars and SUVs as well as the wheel liners on F-Series trucks. Ford Motor Company and Gravity Sketch have combined forces to revolutionize the development process for designing vehicles. Co-Creation, which was developed by Gravity Sketch in collaboration with Ford, allows designers to collaborate as they create and evaluate vehicle designs in real time through virtual reality—even if they are thousands of miles apart. Since Ford already is the police vehicle brand that practically two-thirds of officers use, they believe they have found a way to continue this legacy by creating an improved vehicle that is full of safety features and save multiple departments and taxpayers money. From advanced 3D printing machines to virtual reality, Ford is on its way to creating futuristic technologies and speeding up manufacturing innovation at the new Advanced Manufacturing Center in Redford, Michigan.

In the summer of 2006, Austin Hatcher Osborn was welcomed into the world. Weeks after his birth, Dr. Jim Osborn and his wife Amy Jo noticed that Hatch wasn’t acting like his normal self. Normally bright and cuddly, Hatch instead started showing signs of illness. Days later, they received the worse news possible—Hatch had an inoperable brain tumor. Devastated after Hatch’s death, Jim and Amy Jo started the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer in honor of their son.
