Ford Rethinking it's Hybrid Effort According to CFOMy big concern with going back to hybrids, is does Fords still have enough ICE powertrain and platform people around to add more hybrids to the mix.
They didn't make an Edge replacement, so that's a negative on the platform side. They should have made a C2 Edge. Do they have the resources to go back to that perhaps?
Engines wise, the 2.5 NA is an old platform. It'll probably still fit the bill for the C2. But will the EcoBoost engines work well with regards to efficiency for larger platforms like the Ranger? Ford needs an efficient solution for the F150 hybrid as well. Is the 2.7EB the best approach? Or should that be the 3.3 NA that they had dropped from the F150's? Or maybe a 3.0 NA build off the 3.0 EB engine, just re-tuned for NA/hyrbid.
Does Ford still have they ICE engineers around to handle the pivot back to hybrids?Fri, 05 Jan 2024 16:16:13 +0000
