Joining Forces With Volkswagen, GM And Tesla In Investments In The Electric Car Market, Ford Promises To Invest 22 Billion Dollars In 12 Electric Cars By 2025

Ford will announce, this Wednesday (26), the development of two electric car platforms, joining the strategy of GM (General Motors), Tesla, and Volkswagen. The electric car platforms are part of an ambitious plan alongside Ford and this plan will be presented at an online event.

Ford’s New Plan Is To Join The Electric Car Market And Compete With GM, Volkswagen, And Tesla

The electric car platforms will provide automakers with simple architectures, such as shared chassis, batteries, and electric motors. From this base, various electric cars will be produced in the future, allowing Ford to simplify and reduce expenses from manufacturing to logistics.

During the event, the company is expected to elaborate on its battery strategy with greater durability, including a battery joint venture that was recently announced with South Korea’s SK Innovation.

Ford’s Future Clientele And Competitor Investments: Volkswagen And GM

Despite all this investment, it remains unpredictable for Jim Farley, Ford’s CEO, whether and how many customers will adopt electric cars, even if they match those of rivals Volkswagen and GM in operating costs, prices, and performance.

The automaker’s rivals are racing ahead, with Volkswagen, GM, and Tesla investing billions of dollars in the sector to convert their vehicles to electric in the same markets as Ford, but with aggressive timelines. Volkswagen launched the ID3, the first of its new electrics last year, and GM will begin assembling the new Hummer EV pickup in the US as early as 2021.

Ford’s Investments In The Electric Sector

Diving deep into the world of electric cars, Ford launched an electric Mustang, known as Mach-E, which arrived at the beginning of this year. The electric version had been in development since 2017 by the Team Edison.

In March, Mustang sales were up, hitting 3,739 units sold, reaching 270 hp and 43.8 kgfm of torque and its variant with 464 hp and 84.6 kgfm of torque.

Ford’s Investments In The Electric Sector

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

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.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Coffee grounds turn into fuel in just 90 seconds, eliminating the need for drying, removing sulfur compounds, and generating biochar with energy similar to anthracite coal in a process created by scientists in South Korea.

Black Hawk transported 300 whole logs with roots in 3 days to return wood to degraded rivers, crossing 8 km per flight and using loads of up to 7,500 pounds in an operation planned to rebuild natural structures lost to industrial exploitation.

While Brazilian highways struggle with an excess of trucks, a company removed 82,000 trailers from the roads of Santa Catarina in one year by transporting 6,700 tons per day by sea from São Francisco do Sul.

Why does the microwave door have a screen full of tiny holes and how does this feature allow you to see the food without letting the energy escape?

Filipinas used coconut fiber to contain oil in the sea after an environmental disaster, turned discarded shells into biodegradable barriers, protected mangroves, and showed how agricultural waste can become a green weapon against spills that threaten oceans and coastal communities.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
