Like all manufacturers, Ford will also have to go all-electric if it wants to continue selling cars. This especially applies to Europe, although the ban on thermal cars was indeed voted on. If there will be an exception for models running on synthetic fuel, the American firm is currently not very interested in this alternative. On the other hand, it has been actively working on its electrification for several years and has several zero-emission models in its catalog.

New city
Indeed, the blue oval manufacturer sells its Mustang Mach-E as well as the F-150 Lightning, which are currently only available in the United States. A few days ago, it also unveiled an all-new model, the electric Explorer. A new compact SUV, which, nevertheless, received the name of a car already well known in the history of the brand. Another model is also in the works to replace the current Ford Fiesta. FYI, this one will be coming out of the catalog soon, starting next June. The page turns.
Volkswagen base
They are already starting to talk about its replacement when it is known that it will be based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group. So it should be inspired by the current ID.3, recently updated. Thus, it can adopt a traction architecture like the German compact. Its production should take place at the Cologne factory, on thermoversion circuits. No launch date has been announced, but we’re already counting on 2025, the year the ID.2 will be introduced to the market, with which it will share certain elements.
