Commercial vehicles will either be plug-in hybrids, or EVs, by then.
Ford will intensify its electrification efforts in Europe, where it intends to eliminate the combustion engine from its passenger cars in the next nine year. The Blue Oval will sell zero-emission cars starting in 2030. This means that traditional models like the Fiesta or Focus will no longer have gasoline engines.
To move towards an entirely electric passenger car range, the first step is to electrify all of the portfolio by 2026. Ford will stop selling ICEs four years after the start of 2026, and instead sell plug-in hybrids or EVs within five years. Already, the electrification process began with the Mustang Mach-E There are many hybrids, whether mild hybrids or fully electric vehicles.
Similar plans exist for commercial vehicles. However, going completely electric will take longer. Ford expects that plug-in hybrids or EVs will account for two-thirds its commercial vehicle sales by 2030. The Transit, Tourneo and other vehicles will offer plug-in hybrid or all-electric powertrains in addition to traditional engines by 2024.
The plan to convert all passenger cars in Europe to EVs by the end the decade effectively means that the next-gen Fiesta or Focus will not offer a combustion engine. The Mondeo will be transformed later in the year into a high riding wagon with a hybrid engine. A second generation of the ICE-free Mondeo would follow.
The Puma is still made by Ford at its Romanian facility. However, only the EcoSport has been electrified with a mild-hybrid engine. The Puma is the smaller crossover and seems to have a better future. It will be around when traditional engines are retired in 2030.
