DETROIT (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. says CEO Alan Mulally will travel by car when he makes his return trip to Washington, D.C., to seek $25 billion in government loans.

Company spokesman Mark Truby says in an e-mail that Mulally will make the 520-mile trip on the ground.

Mulally, General Motors Corp. CEO Rick Wagoner and Chrysler LLC CEO Robert Nardelli were criticized last month when they flew to Washington in separate private jets to seek the government bailout.

Chrysler and GM say their CEOs will not fly by corporate jet, but neither company has said if the executives will fly on commercial airlines or drive.

Automakers are to present business plans to Congress on Tuesday. They will appear before congressional committees on Thursday and Friday.
