Ford is to add a plug-in hybrid powertrain version to the company's Ranger pickup, Europe's best-selling pickup, writes Brian Byrne. But the car won't be available until early 2025.
Adding the electric motor to the powertrain will both offer emissions-free driving on and offroad, and more pulling power.
The combustion engine of the setup will be the 2.3 EcoBoost petrol unit, and the EV range is expected to be rated at 45km.
Ford will also offer Pro Power Onboard with the PHEV Ranger, enabling customers to power their high-draw power tools and appliances on a worksite or remote campsite by plugging them into power outlets embedded in both the cargo bed as well as the cabin.
No pricing is indicated yet.
