Automotive companies Ford and General Motors are exploring new business ventures beyond vehicle sales. These efforts are focused on targeting different types of customers, including utilities and government entities. Their traditional business model, which generates most of their revenue, involves selling vehicles such as pickups and SUVs.

However, they are now looking to diversify their operations. Ford, for example, is developing a grid-scale battery-storage operation, although details of this project are limited. Further information on these new business ventures can be found through KTSM 9 News, which has reported on the developments at Ford and General Motors.
