      The first phase of the Ford Smart Mobility Plan will include the launch of 25 mobility experiments in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Latin America. The experiments address 4 challenges of existing transportation model and personal mobility limitation – i.e. an expanding middle class, explosive population growth, changing customer attitudes and priorities and air quality and public health concerns.

      For the Innovate Mobility Challenge Series, Ford invited developers and innovators from across the world to develop solutions for specific mobility challenges in Portugal, North and South America, England, India, Australia, Africa and China. The company will encourage innovators to create technological solutions of challenges like finding an open parking space in crowded urban area, using navigation and other tools to access medical care in remote areas and better navigational solutions.

      In Bangalore, Ford is working on Zoomcar technology for testing a sharing concept that enables small communities or groups such as families, office workers and apartment dwellers, to share a car between multiple drivers. This aims to create new revenue systems, sustainability and new customers, besides offering additional benefits to owners of ford cars in India. The company is also planning to develop a model for car scheduling and managing ownership.
