Podcast special: Ford joins forces with Geely – genius or desperation?
<p>Ford and Geely? It's the partnership nobody saw coming.</p><br><p>In this podcast special, Ginny Buckley and Tom Barnard are joined by "the Godfather of the Nissan Leaf", former Nissan COO and Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer, to unpack one of the biggest stories in the automotive industry this year.</p><br><p>Why has Ford turned to Chinese giant Geely to help build its future European models? Is this simply a smart way to cut costs, or does it signal a much bigger shift in the global car industry? And what does Geely stand to gain?</p><br><p>The team discusses what the deal means for consumers, whether buyers still care where their cars are made, the risks Ford is taking, and whether this is the latest step in the company's transformation from traditional manufacturer into a global automotive brand. They also look at the future of familiar names like Capri, Explorer and Bronco, and ask why manufacturers are still investing in combustion engines alongside electric cars.</p><p>It's a fascinating conversation about the changing face of the car industry – and what it could mean for the cars we'll all be driving in the years ahead.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
