The investment will also help to secure 500 jobs, enabling Ford to upskill its workers ready for Ford’s exciting future EV plans.
An Electric future with Ford
Ford is striving to electrify their whole range by 2030, a bold move that will see 9 EVs on sale within 2 years.
Not only are they concentrating on electrifying their current range, but Ford has also announced seven brand new electric vehicles to be on the road by 2024.
These will include a five-seat, medium-sized crossover vehicle that will offer a 310 miles driving range and an all-electric version of the Ford Puma. There will also be a sports crossover thrown into the mix.
These new Ford electric vehicles suggest nothing less than a total transformation of the Ford brand, with a completely new generation of zero-emission vehicles, that will offer Ford customers a greener user experience. The new range will also undoubtedly support Ford’s plans to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2035. Not only are they focusing on zero emissions for all car sales in this timeframe but are also planning carbon neutrality across their facilities logistics and suppliers.
