Ford could save Mustang & F-Series from going all-electric

The brand wants loyal customers who own F-150s, Broncos and Mustangs to have a good experience.

In a recent interview, Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, stated that although the company is committed to growing its EV business, it will not discontinue its ICE-powered vehicles.

Ford is one of a handful of automakers that haven't committed to going all-electric in the future. Farley reasons that the electric drivetrain isn't for everybody and that there are always those who are looking for the sound and fury of a V8. He explained that the company "will do what's required", which is to grow its EV business to 2 million vehicles in four years. Having said that, the brand also wants loyal customers who own F-150s, Broncos and Mustangs to have a good experience.

Mark Rushbrook, Global Director of Ford Performance Motorsports, stated that one of the main reasons (apart from the new power unit regulations) why the brand was interested in Formula One is its shift to carbon-neutral synthetic fuel in 2026. The new fuel is said to emit only as much carbon as is used to produce it.

He added that electric vehicles are an important part of Ford's future, but they will also offer combustion-engine vehicles in different parts of the world for a long time.
