Ford Sells $2.8B in Auto Debt

Company will use proceeds to invest in self-driving cars, electrified vehicles and other technology.

Investors piled into Ford Motor Co.’s first automotive borrowing in almost four years, allowing the company to slash interest rates on a $2.8 billion debt sale as it boosts spending on self-driving cars, mobility services and electrified vehicles.

The automaker sold 10-year and 30-year notes Monday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Investors put in about $8.7 billion of orders for the bonds, said a person familiar with the matter, letting Ford sell more than the $2 billion it initially anticipated.
