Ford today announced it will accelerate its electrified vehicle plan in the Middle East by launching four new hybrid vehicles over the next four years, building on its global promise to provide customers with affordable and capable electrified vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese are incredibly exciting times for Ford in the Middle East with our aggressive product plan coming together and a full range of electrified vehicles planned for the near term,\u201d said Jacques Brent, president, Ford Middle East, and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Middle East is one of the world\u2019s most receptive new energy vehicle markets, due to strong government support around the region and growing customer acceptance. Ford\u2019s Middle East electrified vehicle plan will focus on hybrids in the utility segment \u2013 one of Ford\u2019s core strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ford F-150 Hybrid is the first vehicle to be confirmed for launch in the Middle East as part of those plans, joining the Fusion Hybrid currently available in some Middle East markets. The F-150 Hybrid will offer powerful towing and payload capacity and operate as a mobile generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ford\u2019s global utility lineup will feature the company\u2019s first hybrid models powered by EcoBoost\u00ae rather than naturally aspirated engines, further improving performance and fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leading in electrification is fundamental to Ford\u2019s transformation to becoming the most trusted mobility company, designing smart vehicles for a smart world. The company recently announced a dedicated electrification team, focused exclusively on creating an ecosystem of products and services for electric vehicles and the unique opportunities they provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This builds on Ford\u2019s earlier commitment to invest $4.5 billion to deliver 13 new electric vehicles in the next five years, including the Ford F-150 Hybrid and a hybrid autonomous vehicle designed for commercial operations in mobility services, starting in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
