CISCHKE APPOINTED SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND WILL LEAD SUSTAINABILITY AT FORD


DEARBORN, Mich., April 23, 2007 - Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) announced today
that Susan M. Cischke has been named senior vice president and will lead the
company's sustainability efforts going forward, in addition to continuing her
present assignments. Her new title will be senior vice president, 
Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering. She will report to Ford
President and CEO Alan Mulally. 

'We are at a critical stage in the global conversation on sustainability, energy
consumption and environmental protection,' said Mulally. 'Sue, as part of the
senior leadership team, will not only help us shape our participation in this
dialogue, but also help us develop the products and processes our customers and
our society will demand. Sue has been very successful in leading our
environmental and safety initiatives, and we're tapping into her vast knowledge
and experience in those areas in having her take on this responsibility. She has
the full support of the company's Board and senior leadership team, and I have
every confidence that she will be successful in helping to drive sustainability
throughout our business.' 

Cischke is charged with establishing a long range sustainability strategy as
well as Ford's environmental and safety policy. She previously reported to
Corporate Affairs Group Vice President Ziad Ojakli, and will continue to work
closely with Ojakli and the Government Affairs team on safety and environmental
regulatory issues. 

Cischke previously was vice president, Environmental and Safety Engineering for
Ford Motor Company, a position she has held since January 2001. As Ford's top
environmental and safety officer, Cischke continues to have responsibility for
assuring that Ford Motor Company products meet or exceed all safety and
environmental regulations worldwide. She helps shape corporate policy and works
with global regulators on issues ranging from carbon dioxide emissions to
pedestrian safety. 

Prior to joining Ford, Cischke was senior vice president of Regulatory Affairs
and Passenger Car Operations at DaimlerChrysler. She began her career at
Chrysler Corp. in 1976 and held various engineering positions until 1994 when
she was named general manager of Scientific Labs and Proving Grounds. In 1996,
she was named vice president of Vehicle Certification, Compliance and Safety
Affairs.
