DEARBORN, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ford Motor Company and its dealers, taking action to aid Hurricane
Harvey victims, are committing millions of dollars in relief funds and
offering special assistance to those who need to replace lost or
destroyed vehicles.

“Our hearts go out to all of those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Texas
is like family for Ford,” said Jim Hackett, Ford president and CEO. “Our
teams are working day and night to help our customers, dealers and
communities get back on their feet.”

Ford has launched multiple initiatives to assist in the relief efforts,
including committing more than $3.5 million in relief funds. These
actions include:

  • Ford Motor Company Fund is contributing $500,000 to disaster relief
    efforts in Texas. This includes contributions to the American Red
    Cross, The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Team Rubicon, Toolbank
    and the purchase of four Chariot Transit Vans that will also support
    the relief effort
  • Texas-area Ford dealers already have donated $200,000 to disaster
    relief organizations via the Cowboys-Texans telethon and have
    committed to raising more than $1 million to go toward helping
    dealership employees and local charities. Ford will match this effort
    up to a total of $1.5 million in relief to designated community relief
    charities
  • Ford is announcing a special customer assistance bundle, “Texas Is
    Family,” to assist customers with a loss claim to meet their immediate
    vehicle needs:
  • “Texas Is Family” customer assistance bundle

    • The same no-haggle, below-invoice price as Ford employees and
      their families receive
    • No payments until next year
    • Low Ford Credit APR or lease rates
    • Simple online application process

    Ford has 114 dealerships in the Houston region. Currently, 101 remain
    open, 13 are closed and 10 (some open and some closed) have incurred
    extensive damage. While assessments are still under way, Ford expects
    dealer vehicle losses to be in the low thousands and isolated to a few
    dealers.

    “The outpouring of support from dealers and employees who want to help
    is truly remarkable,” said Raj Nair, executive vice president and
    president of North America. “Thousands of people have suffered
    tremendous loss as a result of Harvey. For these people, Ford is
    committed to taking action to make the process of getting their lives
    back on track a little easier.”
