Compared with other manufacturers, Ford's automobile business in Europe is slower in product iteration, especially in the innovation of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. On the other hand, it also reflects that Ford's carbon dioxide emissions have been at a backward disadvantage.
From 20 19, Ford began to promote electrification transformation. Due to the strict emission regulations in Europe and the launch of 1 WLPT (Global Light Vehicle Test Plan) in March, Ford has no choice but to accelerate the electrification transformation to meet the CO2 emission target of EU 202 1 year of 95g/km.
In other words, from now on, every time Ford launches a model, it will add hybrid or pure electric vehicles. For this goal, Ford revealed that it will show results in early 2022.
At present, Ford has begun to reduce its product range in Europe. For example, Ka+, C-Max, Edge and other products that are not suitable for electrification transformation will be or will be deleted from the sales catalogue. As for the Mustang and Fox ST, because they are products that reflect Ford's technical value and premium ability, in order to maintain the image, the gameplay will be changed later.
For example, Mustang has changed from a model to a new electrified brand. Mach-E, the first model of Mustang, was launched on June 201KLOC-0/9, and it is planned to enter the European market before the end of 2020. This is a pure electric crossover model, and its performance will be the same as that of the previous Mustang sports car.
In addition, Carnival and Fox will import 1.0T? 48V mild hybrid technology, which is the power system from Puma. The 48V versions of these two European "Hua Dan Masters" will be available in June 2020. And a big SUV? The explorer will also use PHEV insertion technology, which is expected to be launched in the summer of 2020.
The European version of Maverick (corresponding to the domestic Changan Ford Sharp) will launch PHEV and 48V versions in April, and the pure hybrid version of HEV will be added before the end of the year. This car is also sold in China at present, but there is only one power option for the 2.0T gasoline engine. According to the news, the PHEV plug-in system will be launched in the future.
In the large car section, S-Max and Galaxy will also be electrified, or equipped with a hybrid system on Mondeo to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Transit brand in LCV Division also announced that it will launch the 100% pure electric version of V363 rear-drive Transit later in 2020.
In fact, part of Ford's electrification transformation strategy will be completed with Volkswagen Group.
Ford has announced that it will launch a brand-new electric SUV between 202 1 and 2022, and will use the MEB electric platform of Volkswagen Group, which means that this car may be the brother model of Volkswagen ID.4
Then for the public, if the electric version of Crafter is launched in the future, it is also possible to use the Transit electric system.
