in recent years, as outdoor sports have become increasingly popular in china, cycling, camping, mountaineering, skiing, and lure fishing have attracted more and more enthusiasts, and self-driving travel has become an important way for people to enjoy outdoor life. "meeting the growing demand for outdoor travel lifestyles among chinese consumers has become a compulsory course for many automakers," said shengbo wu, president and ceo of ford china. "ford has a natural advantage in this regard. it can even be said that when it comes to outdoor lifestyles with self-driving experiences, ford is a brand that cannot be avoided."

as one of the earliest promoters of the outdoor self-driving camping lifestyle, as early as the 1920s, when ford motor company was first established, founder henry ford would often invite inventor thomas edison, tire magnate javier firestone, writer john burroughs and other celebrity friends to engage in self-driving camping life in nature for dozens of days. as an important promoter of the popularization of automobiles and "the man who put wheels on the world", henry ford personally provided this star camping team with new models such as "rv" and "dining car" as a "mechanic" and "equipment provider". this also directly promoted the development of outdoor camping models in later generations.

with the development of the times, this kind of outdoor lifestyle that is far away from the hustle and bustle and relaxed and comfortable has become more and more popular. it has not only greatly influenced american society, but also made more and more people around the world drive to experience the fun of the outdoors. ford's series of suvs and pickup trucks have also continued to develop and gradually become a symbol of outdoor lifestyle, establishing a strong brand influence around the world. models represented by ford explorer, ford mustang, and ford ranger are widely praised by chinese consumers and have gradually established a good reputation in the outdoor life circle.
