Ho detto se volesse, perchè tecnicamente avrebbe la liquidità per papparsi un gruppo automotive medio grande come Stellantis.

@nucaroteaspetta aspetta, mi riferivo a Apple io, non a GM che avrà forse 1/100 di liquidità AHAHAHAHAH

mi sembrava stano lol

 

comunque a livello di utili stanno alla grande in GM

Ford open to speeding up EV shift in Europe

The U.S. automaker said in February it would drop cars and SUVs with gasoline and diesel engines from its lineup in Europe by 2030

 

Ford could make the move to all-electric for its passenger vehicles in Europe sooner than 2030.

"It's quite possible that we move faster," Ford of Europe CEO Stuart Rowley said.

The U.S. automaker said in February it would drop cars and SUVs with gasoline and diesel engines from its lineup in Europe by 2030, but demand for EVs across Europe has been stronger than expected, Rowley told the online Financial Times conference on Thursday.

"Every time we look at the data we accelerate our projection," he said.

Electric cars accounted for 6.6 percent of overall first-quarter sales in the Europe, figures from industry association ACEA show.

EV sales are expected to top 1 million in the region this year for the first time as incentives push more people to switch to a battery-driven powertrain, analyst company LMC Automotive predicts.

Ford is currently rolling out its first dedicated electric car, the Mustang Mach-E, in Europe and will add a second electric model in 2023 based on Volkswagen Group's MEB platform.

Ford is considering a second MEB-based model and is reportedly nearing a decision.

Ford has said all its passenger vehicles sold in Europe will have battery or plug-in hybrid drivetrains by mid-2026.

Whether Ford goes all-electric before 2030 will depend on its model lineup, Rowley said.

"There will be segments that won't be fully electric [by 2030] but maybe we won't be participating in those segments," he told the FT conference.

Ford is moving out of its traditional segments to focus more on SUVs, and earlier this year announced it would end production of the Mondeo midsize family by 2022.
 
"We are going to have a more targeted portfolio of highly differentiated passenger vehicles," Rowley told Automotive News Europe in an interview in February.

Rowley dodged a question from the Financial Times reporter about how it would electrify its Fiesta small car range.

The midsize segment had the highest share of electric vehicles in the first quarter in Europe at 17 percent, thanks mainly to the success of the Tesla Model 3, Europe’s No. 1-selling EV through the three months, according to data from JATO Dynamics.

Minicars had the next largest EV share at 16 percent. SUVs were the biggest-selling electric body style overall.

Ford follows GM, VW with two new dedicated EV platforms by 2025, report says

The all-EV platforms are part of an ambitious multiyear, multibillion-dollar plan

 

DETROIT -- Ford Motor plans to announce on Wednesday that it is developing two dedicated all-electric vehicle platforms, one for full-size trucks and SUVs, the other for cars and crossovers, as part of a strategy to catch General Motors, Volkswagen Group and Tesla in the global electrification race, sources familiar with Ford's plans told Reuters.

The all-EV platforms are part of an ambitious multi-year, multibillion-dollar plan the No. 2 U.S. automaker will outline to investors at its Capital Markets Day in an online event.

The platforms will give Ford common architectures — including shared chassis components, electric motors and battery packs — on which to base many of its future EVs. That will enable it to simplify and reduce the expense of everything from logistics to manufacturing as it transitions from a global lineup of mostly fossil-fueled products.

Ford said it does not comment on future product speculation.

At Wednesday's investor event, the company also will provide more details on its long-range battery strategy, including a recently announced battery joint venture with Korea's SK Innovation, as well as broader goals for electric, commercial and self-driving vehicles, said the sources, who asked not to be named.

Ford previously said it will spend $22 billion through 2025 on electrifying many of its vehicles in the Americas, Europe and China. The sources said Ford is planning to launch at least nine all-electric cars and crossovers and at least three electric trucks, vans and larger SUVs, including second-generation editions of the Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E at mid-decade.

What Ford CEO Jim Farley cannot predict, however, is whether — and how many — customers will embrace the newer battery-powered vehicles, even if they are able to match or beat current combustion-engine counterparts in price, performance and operating costs. That concern is shared by nearly all automakers except Tesla, whose lineup is 100 percent electric.

Ford's traditional rivals have sprinted ahead, with both VW and GM committing tens of billions of dollars to electrify their fleets in the same markets as Ford, but on more aggressive timetables. VW and GM each will have at least two dedicated EV platforms, on which many of their future vehicles will be based.

VW launched the first of its all-new EVs, the ID3, last year in Europe, while GM will begin building its new Hummer EV pickup later this year in the U.S. Both companies also are rolling out additional EV models that will share key components with those vehicles.

Ford earlier this year introduced the Mustang Mach-E, an electric crossover built on a new dedicated platform with the internal designation GE, the sources said.

A newer version of that platform, designated GE2, will debut in mid-2023, underpinning new Ford and Lincoln EVs, according to Sam Fiorani, head of global forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions. The same GE2 platform eventually will be used as the base for replacements for the Mustang coupe and Mach-E, the sources said.

Ford will use a second passenger car platform — a version of VW's MEB architecture — in Europe for at least two new models beginning in 2023, the sources said. In February, Ford said its European passenger car lineup will be all-electric by 2030.

Ford has already said it plans to produce a car using MEB in Cologne, Germany, starting in 2023. Last month Bloomberg reported that Ford was nearing a decision to license VW's electric-car technology for a second model in Europe.

The redesigned F-150 Lightning, due in late 2025, is expected to be the first to employ the new TE1 truck architecture, Fiorani said. The first-generation Lightning, which debuts next spring, uses a platform that is heavily derived from the standard F-150.

Ford could also use the new TE1 platform for electric versions of the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition utility vehicles, the sources said.

In addition, Ford is expected to get a new EV, possibly a midsize pickup, that would be based on a platform from EV startup Rivian, in which Ford is an investor.

No, dovrebbe essere proprietaria di Ford (e più grande di MEB, infatti hanno annunciato solo veicoli medio-grandi)
