Ford Focuses More on Hybrid Models, Delays New Battery-Powered Productions

At a time when major automakers are converting their existing vehicles to EVs or launching new ones, leading automaker Ford decided to take a different path and shift its focus toward hybrid vehicles.

It has been reported by Teambhp that the company has slowed production of battery-powered SUVs and pickup trucks yet, and has started investing more in hybrid options.

Ford’s Future Plans

The report also suggested that the company aims to improve its hybrid range by 2030, and will offer more options for customers to choose from.

This time, the company will continue to invest in the EV segment as well. However, the production of the range has been postponed due to the above mentioned reason.

EV Product Line Pushing Further

Production of the upcoming version of the next-generation pickup (dubbed T3), which was scheduled to arrive in 2025, has also been pushed to 2026. The brand has not yet shared the exact release date and related details.

At the same time, Ford is considered one of the main contributors in the EV segment. The company has achieved the second rank for sales in the first quarter of this year. However, overall, it was ranked third when it comes to making a new EV in the comparison segment.

This is what Ford has informed

Ford CEO Jim Farley said that in the United States, the company has been holding the second-highest position for the past two years, and is committed to increasing the business by bringing the right hybrid, gas, and fully electric vehicles at the right time.
