He'll also describe specific achievements within the Ford+ plan and its three distinct, customer-centered business segments: Ford Blue for iconic gas and hybrid vehicles; Ford Pro, with tailored products and services to help commercial customers transform their enterprises; and Ford Model e, which is developing breakthrough electric vehicles along with connected, software-enabled capabilities and experiences that are being applied across the company's global product lineup.
