Ford have been vocal on their own sustainability aims, with 2035 the target to become carbon neutral across all of its operations.
The new passenger vehicles will be built in their Cologne Electrification Centre, with the plan to build 1.2 million electric vehicles over a 6-year period. Ford announced they are targeting sales of 600,000 EVs a year in Europe by 2026.
Stuart Rowley, the Ford of Europe chairman, stated that Ford are “capitalising on their strengths” and making this move not only to profit from the thriving EV market, but also to do their part in protecting the planet.
