Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond innovation; it's deeply rooted in protecting the environment and preserving biodiversity for future generations. The Ford Wildlife Foundation allows us to proudly support critical conservation initiatives. With the use of a Ford Ranger Double cab 4x4, conservationists can access remote locations ensuring the success of critical projects. One such initiative, led by the Freshwater Research Centre with support from FWF, has made history by successfully reintroducing the endangered Witvis to the Berg River in the Western Cape after a 30-year absence. This achievement reinforces our longstanding dedication to wildlife conservation and attests to the power of collaboration in restoring fragile ecosystems. #FordSouthAfrica #FordWildlifeFoundation #Witvis

We are proud to announce the start of the full-scale production of the first-ever Ford Ranger Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) at our Silverton Manufacturing Plant. This Ranger PHEV, exclusively produced in South Africa for global export, represents a major step in Ford's global sustainability strategy. We're proud that our Silverton plant is embracing environmentally friendly and sustainable manufacturing processes to support this initiative. This achievement is made possible by significant investment in our Silverton manufacturing operations, including the construction of a Battery Assembly Plant and incremental upgrades across the plant to incorporate high-tech manufacturing and automation. #FordSouthAfrica

The Ford Ranger is one of the leading contenders in its segment in South Africa and has established a solid reputation for quality, reliability, and durability. Ford’s Silverton Manufacturing Plant, based in Pretoria, is one of five manufacturing hubs of the Ranger around the world. The Ranger’s legacy in South Africa spans three generations, marked by continuous evolution and innovation. As a trusted and beloved bakkie, it has become a cornerstone of Ford’s local lineup and the top-selling double-cab in 2024, with 20 078 Rangers sold. To ensure the highest standards for quality, every Ranger produced must pass through a six-step process on the Customer Acceptance Line before being shipped around the world. It involves artificial intelligence checks, paint and panel inspection, interior and lighting, electrical and a run around a 320-metre long, seven surface squeak-and-rattle track. #FordSouthAfrica

For over 25 years, Ford has proudly partnered with READ Educational Trust’s Rally to Read to improve literacy and education in South Africa. This year, we completed the final phase of a three-year project supporting six schools near our Silverton Assembly Plant in Pretoria - bringing essential reading materials, teacher training, and digital learning tools to under-resourced communities. Education is a powerful tool for change, and we remain committed to empowering the next generation through literacy. 📚💙 #RallytoRead #FordSouthAfrica
