From Model T to Modern EV

From Model T to Modern EV is an independent work of nonfiction that traces the rise, reinvention, and global reach of one of America’s most influential automakers. It follows the company’s evolution from the early age of mass production and the moving assembly line to its modern role in trucks, global manufacturing, software, regulation, and electrification.

This book goes beyond the vehicles themselves to examine the full industrial story: the factories, labor struggles, dealer networks, engineering culture, international expansion, product crises, recoveries, and the continuing challenge of staying relevant in a rapidly changing automotive world. It is a fact-driven narrative about how a single company helped shape modern mobility—and how it continues to adapt as the technology, the rules, and the expectations all change at once.
