Ford Romania SA

What Ford Romania SA does

Ford Romania SA operates the Romanian business of Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) through Ford Romania Services SRL, a Romanian private limited company incorporated in 2022 and registered at the Global City Business Park in Voluntari, Ilfov County, near Bucharest. As the authorized importer, distributor, sales, and service provider for Ford vehicles in Romania, the company serves two primary customer segments: individual consumers (persoane fizice) purchasing vehicles for personal use, and business customers (persoane juridice) purchasing commercial fleets and company cars, with a secondary Ford Pro commercial vehicle sub-segment supported by dedicated fleet-management tools and software.

The company distributes a multi-energy vehicle portfolio spanning internal-combustion (Puma, Mustang, Kuga EcoBoost), mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in-hybrid (Kuga PHEV, which has been Romania's best-selling PHEV for four consecutive years from 2022 through 2025), and fully-electric models (Puma Gen-E, Explorer EV, Capri EV, Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit, E-Transit Custom). Core technology is delivered through the Ford SYNC 4 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the FordPass Connect modem running on the Vodafone network, and the BlueOval Charge Network for EV owners. Connected services include remote start, lock/unlock, vehicle health alerts, Wi-Fi hotspot, and over-the-air software updates.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time unit sales through the authorized dealer network, financing commission income via the partnership with UniCredit Consumer Financing IFN (fixed-rate loans up to 60 months, 0% down payment, rates from 5.99% with bundled life insurance), insurance products through Omniasig (Ford Casco) and Generali, aftermarket service and parts, Ford Protect extended warranties, and a parent-level battery energy storage systems revenue stream repurposing EV battery capacity for data center, utility, and industrial customers. The business participates in the Romanian government's Rabla 2026 scrappage/incentive program, providing price-point entry from €16,800 VAT-included (Puma Hybrid) up to €28,900+ (Kuga PHEV), with Ford contributing its own subsidy on top of government ecotichete of 10,000-15,000 lei. Marketing blends direct dealer sales with digital channels (ford.ro, Ford Marketplace), motorsport-driven brand positioning via Red Bull Ford Powertrains F1 partnership from 2026, and segmented programs for individual and fleet buyers.
