Ford showcases its commitment to electrified vehicles

Ford demonstrated its commitment to an electrified future at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.

The company revealed its most comprehensive line-up of electrified vehicles to date, which will help drive sales that are expected to surpass conventional petrol and diesel-models by the end of 2022 in Europe.

Earlier this year, Ford announced that every new Ford passenger vehicle nameplate will include an electrified option – either a mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in hybrid or all-electric – delivering one of the most comprehensive line-ups of electrified options.

The company is launching 17 electrified vehicles in Europe by 2024, including eight in 2019.

Ford expects electrified powertrains to account for more than half of the company’s passenger vehicle sales by the end of 2022, creating a tipping point for Ford’s electrified vehicle sales versus conventional petrol and diesel sales.

The all-new Kuga Plug-In Hybrid is a variant of the all-new mid-size SUV – Ford’s most electrified vehicle ever and the first Ford to offer mild-hybrid, self-charging full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

The all-new Explorer Plug-In Hybrid seven-seat SUV and the new Tourneo Custom Plug-In Hybrid eight-seat people-mover each offer pure-electric driving capability alongside the driving range and freedom offered by a traditional combustion engine.

The new Puma EcoBoost Hybrid SUV-inspired compact crossover features sophisticated mild-hybrid technology for reduced CO2 emissions, optimised fuel-efficiency, and a more responsive and rewarding driving experience.

The self-charging Ford Mondeo Hybrid wagon offers full-hybrid, petrol-electric powertrain technology.
