Ford Continues Its Movement Toward Electrification, Even with Changes in Deadlines and Production Plans in Europe

Ford is moving forward with its plan to retire the gasoline-powered Ford Focus, despite the delay of its transition target for a fully electric fleet in Europe, now scheduled for 2035 instead of 2030 as initially planned, according to the website Electrek.

Production of the current gasoline-powered Ford Focus is set to end next year, as previously announced by the company. Ford does not intend to extend the production of the Focus, even if there is an extension of the deadline set by the European Union for the elimination of greenhouse gas emissions.

Ford Restructuring Plan in Europe

Kieran Cahill, Vice President of Production for Ford Europe, stated: “We have made our plans, and there is no possibility of extending Focus production”. The Ford plant in Saarlouis, Germany, where the Focus is produced, will continue operating after the end of production of the model, scheduled for November 2025. About 1,000 of the current 4,500 employees will remain at the plant, while the others will be relocated to other Ford locations. The plant is expected to remain operational at least until the end of 2032.

Tenho um 2018 ! Zerado 14km top demais, acredito q mesmo fora de linha, haverá peças para reposição. Vender a preço de **** por sua má fama, não dá pois deixa muitos outros top de linha pra traz em tudo. Apesar de ser suspeito em opinar pq realmente ele é meu xodo, e só roda em rodovias de velocidade! De vez em qd! RS.

Sempre fui um apaixonado pelos carros Ford. Vendi meu Focus Sedan automático com dor no Coração ❤️. Já não há mais peças sobressalentes, lamentável uma montadora fazer isto com TDS seus clientes. Podem Fazer carros com ou sem bateria “NUNCA MAIS” terei outro carro desta empresa.

Concordo. Sempre fui fã da linha ford e tve todas as versões do focus. Fiquei decepcionado com o gesto da empresa a seus clientes. Também desisti de comprar qualquer outro carro dessa montadora.

New Car Is on the Way: Electric Crossover and Future Prospects

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
