Ford has once again demonstrated its commitment to an electrified future at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show by unveiling its most comprehensive range of electric and hybrid vehicles. In fact, such is the company’s commitment that these electrified vehicles are even expected to surpass conventional diesel and gasoline engines in sales by 2022, which will mean a turning point in the registrations of this type of vehicle. cars compared to models powered by conventional thermal mechanics.
In addition, Ford will launch no less than seventeen vehicles of this type on the market in Europe before 2024 – including eight already in 2019 – with the aim that its customers have the option of choosing the model that best suits their needs, as well as to your most personal tastes. In this context, the American manufacturer has taken advantage of the visit to Frankfurt to showcase new models such as the Kuga and Explorer plug-in hybrids, the Tourneo Custom Plug-In, the new Mondeo Hybrid Sportbreak or the new compact crossover, also hybrid, Puma EcoBoost.
In this sense, Stuart Rowley , president of Ford of Europe, has pointed out that “the fact that electrification is spreading rapidly means that we substantially increase the number of electrified engine models and options so that our customers can choose which one is the best adapts to your needs ”. “By making the transition to an electrified vehicle easier and more progressive than ever, we expect the majority of our passenger car sales by the end of 2022 to be electrified models,” added Rowley.
In fact, the firm already announced earlier this year that the intention is for each of its vehicle ranges to include an electrified option (mild-hybrid, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or fully electric), thus offering one of the selections. more comprehensive for European customers . It has also announced new solutions to make it easier to charge electrified vehicle batteries, which will significantly reduce charging times and help achieve cleaner and quieter streets.
