Ford Motor Company has a rich history in manufacturing, most notably by revolutionizing the automobile industry and mass producing the Model T on the moving assembly line. Ford Racing has partnered with Red Bull Powertrains and is aiming to utilize its manufacturing prowess and additive manufacturing capabilities to further the development of the 2026 power unit while meeting the unforgiving demands of the Formula 1 schedule. The ultimate goal of the Red Bull Ford Powertrains team is a race winning power unit; but an unintended byproduct may be a shorter and more efficient passenger car development cycle.
