Ford’s Contribution in the Development of the Auto Industry

Ford Motor Company is one of the internationally acclaimed auto companies that greatly take part in enhancing the state of the automotive industry.  It established academic unions in the Nanjing University of Aeronautics (SJTU) and Shanghai Jiaotong University to increase the quality of research and development programs that initiate the innovation in various sorts of vehicles. The automotive company aims to help further the condition of the automotive sphere by supporting the academic courses that serve as a strong foundation of the automotive sector.

“NUAA and SJTU are widely renowned for their leading scientific research programs and academic reputations. The alliances with Ford will allow for high-level collaboration that will enhance mutual scientific and educational capacities, and leverage each other’s strengths and resources in the co-development of automotive technologies,” said Vice president of Research & Advanced Engineering at Ford Motor Company Gerhard Schmidt.

The two academic unions, which are the first associations to be established by Ford with universities in the Mainland China, each selected a Ford Motor Company Professor’s Chair.  This official is responsible in helping make the beginning of the partnership between the university and Ford a lot easier.  It is the duty of this Chair to help out in designing and carrying out various research programs that will significantly improve the automotive industry.
