Ford At The Top Of Sales: Ranger, The Versatile Transit, The Innovative Maverick, The Adventurous Bronco And The Legendary F-150, All Reinforce Ford’s Legacy In The Automotive Market

Ford, with a surprising turnaround, announces the return of the Puma. This SUV-height car, although less known in Brazil, was a hit in Europe and played a crucial role in the retirement of the popular Fiesta and Ecosport. With a renewed design and innovative features, the Puma promises a triumphant return.

In early February, Ford revealed the first major facelift of the Puma. Despite the subtle exterior changes, the new look is already causing a frenzy among consumers. The headlights received an update with LEDs, and the iconic Ford logo now adorns the front grille. Inside, the vehicle is more high-tech than ever.

It features a 12.8-inch instrument panel and a 12-inch multimedia center, equipped with Ford’s SYNC 4 system, 5G connectivity, and integrated Alexa. Additionally, the ADAS package has been enhanced, adding new features to the adaptive cruise control system.

Triumphant Return Of The Ford Puma SUV Icon In 2024: Previously Equipped With A 1.5 Turbo Engine With 200 Horsepower, The Puma Rises In The Era Of Hybrids

The Puma, an SUV with a sportier footprint, pays homage to Ford’s sports car from the 1990s. In 2024, the model boasts only electrified engines, reflecting the growing trend of sustainability and energy efficiency.

Previously equipped with a 1.5 turbo engine with 200 horsepower, the Puma ST now embraces the era of hybrids. The new heart of the Puma is a 1.0 turbo mild hybrid engine with 170 horsepower, accompanied by a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. An engine that promises dynamic driving, it’s a nod to Ford’s environmental responsibility.

The other versions of the Puma do not lag behind in terms of innovation. The entry-level version, with a six-speed manual transmission, offers 125 horsepower. The mid-range models, sharing the same transmission as the ST version, offer 155 horsepower. This diversity ensures that the Puma meets a wide range of consumer preferences, from those seeking efficiency to performance enthusiasts.

Ranger, Maverick, Bronco and F-150 At The Top Of Sales

Speaking of success, Ford has reasons to celebrate. In 2023, the brand stood out with models that led the sales. The robust Ranger, versatile Transit, innovative Maverick, adventurous Bronco, and legendary F-150, all reinforce Ford’s legacy in the automotive market. These models demonstrate Ford’s versatility and its ability to innovate and adapt to market trends.

The return of the Ford Puma in 2024 represents Ford’s adaptation to modern market demands while paying tribute to its rich automotive legacy. With technological innovations, attractive design, and a commitment to sustainability, the Puma is ready to redefine what we expect from SUVs.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
