Ford Announces Production Of New Electric Vehicles And Bold Sales Goal Until 2030

Ford, one of the largest automakers in the world, announced last week its new all-electric Ford F-150. The American company is making a strong entry into the electric vehicle market and, as a result, is already planning to build at least three new electric versions of its successful brand.

Ford provided more details about its plan to electrify its vehicles. A bold goal predicts that 40% of its sales will be from electric vehicles by 2030. The goal is ambitious and is expected to cost the automaker around 30 billion dollars.

As a result, many of its vehicles are expected to gain electric versions in the coming years. Several projects are already underway but still without a forecast to enter the market.

With the new electric F-150 already available for order in the US, Ford hopes to firmly enter the electric vehicle market and challenge companies that currently hold a larger share of the market, like Tesla. Jim Farley, CEO of the company, noted that he expects Ford to have more vehicles capable of being updated remotely than Tesla by next year.

“Yes, we will fully electrify the Explorer as you would expect, given our plan to deliver 40% of our lineup as fully electric vehicles by 2030. We will continue to leverage our strengths and electrify our icons in high-volume segments that we dominate today. We will share details later.” Ford stated in a press release.

The automotive market is changing, and those who fall behind may get into trouble. Honda, GM, and now Ford, have goals to increasingly produce electric vehicles instead of gasoline and/or diesel-powered vehicles.

Ford Plans To Surpass Tesla In Connectivity Of Its Vehicles

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

An African fish is terraforming lakes by altering sediments, increasing turbidity, and changing the food chain: the silent advance of the tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

A Brazilian city decided to purchase a piece of the Atlantic Forest with more than 153,000 square meters, and owners of preserved areas will be able to submit proposals to transform the forest into a conservation unit.

A 10-year-old girl in Manaus created a styrofoam buoy with a sensor to detect trash in streams, became the sole representative from Latin America in an international challenge in London, and turned the pollution she saw near her home into a sustainable invention.

In the USA, thousands of people are being paid to wash dishes and clean the house with body cameras, every movement turning into data to train robots to imitate humans, in a new “digital gig” that could redefine the future of domestic work.

A 33-year-old from Paraná received a quote of R$ 12,000 just for the structural base of the house, opened tutorials on YouTube, and transformed a family plot into a 200 m² two-story house for about half the price charged by professionals.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
