Ford business redesign will see more electric vehicles and SUVs

Ford is launching a new business model and fresh vehicle line-up as part of a major business redesign.

Ford will be introducing at least three new nameplates in the next five years as it continues to grow its utility vehicle portfolio, including the all-new Mustang-inspired fully electric performance utility. The new nameplates are in addition to all-new Kuga, Puma and Explorer Plug-In Hybrid coming by early 2020.

The carmaker is improving the fuel economy and CO2 of its conventional powertrains and developing a broad range of new hybrid and full electric propulsion choices.

Every new Ford passenger vehicle nameplate will include an electrified option.

Stuart Rowley, president, Ford of Europe said: “Our future is rooted in electrification. We are electrifying across our portfolio, providing all of our customers with more accessible vehicle options that are fun to drive, have improved fuel economy and are better for our environment.”
