Ford is attempting to instill confidence in its employees by taking them out of their offices and putting them behind the wheel of future products that haven’t been introduced to the public yet. Last week, Ford started an effort that will move more than 4,000 employees away from their desks and on to closed tracks to sample unreleased cars.
Employees sampled the 2010 Mustang, Transit Connect van, Mondeo, EcoBoost-equipped Lincoln MKS and hydrogen fuel-cell Focus prototype, among other vehicles, according to the Detroit News. They also got the opportunity to see some of Ford’s future design plans, including interior upgrades like blue instrument lighting, high quality switchgear and firmer, European-inspired seats.
