New Ford online unit builds on existing Web site DEARBORN, Mich., Sept 15 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co. <F.N>, the world's second-largest auto maker, said Wednesday it has established a new online business unit to build on its existing Web site and connect customers globally with dealers. The new unit will be headed by Brian Kelley, a Ford vice president who joined the company from General Electric Co. "Our consumer-connect business has a totally integrated strategy to reach the consumer in conjunction with our dealers at every touchpoint," Kelley said in a statement. "Our focus is not on delivering e-business to Ford -- it's already here in full force." The new business unit will combine retail dealer and electronic commerce activity and will also integrate Ford's global electronic commerce activity from consumer purchase through Ford's entire supply chain. Ford said it was joining with software giant Microsoft Corp. <MSFT.O> and business solutions software maker Trilogy Software to build and maintain its new electronic commerce business. Development and marketing of in-vehicle communications will also be part of the new business unit as interactive Web-based solutions coupled with global positioning system (GPS) technology offer the potential for in-vehicle products and services, Ford said.
