Ford Quanshun, the world's best-selling van truck, is about to join the US electrification camp, and its version will be launched in 2022 models. "Commercial vehicles are an important part of our electrification process," said Jim Farley, chief operating officer of automobiles. "As a leader in this field, we are stepping up our pace to provide solutions for business development starting with pure electric full ride and F-150. This Ford Quanshun is not only equipped with an electric power system, it is a well-designed digital product to drive the fleet operators forward. " As the best-selling van brand in the world and the commercial truck brand that has won the title of the best-selling van in the United States for 41 years in a row, Ford plans to lead the market to zero emission through pure electric Quanshun. Since 2015, Ford's truck and truck sales in the United States have increased by 33%. With the increase of e-commerce and "last mile" delivery, the company hopes that truck sales will continue to grow. Ford set the best quarterly sales performance of freight cars since 1978, with a total of 59930 units sold, and 240529 units sold in the same year. Ford expects electric vehicles to account for 8% of the U.S. auto industry by 2025. Consumers are committed to reducing their carbon footprint, and more and more enterprises have set ambitious sustainable development goals. At the same time, cities are considering increasingly stringent regulations to achieve carbon dioxide emissions, air quality and noise reduction goals. Pure electric Quanshun is one of the achievements of Ford's more than 11.5 billion dollars investment in new energy vehicles before 2022. The vision also includes models developed based on Ford's own advantages to provide higher performance, more powerful functions and more efficient vehicles through technologies in the field of pure electricity: including pure electricity Quanshun on sale in Europe, Mustang mach-e coming this year and pure electricity F-150 announced earlier. "The world is moving towards electrification, and fleet managers are hungry for such products," Farley said. "We understand that their daily vehicle operation needs real-time interconnection, so the demand is totally different from the ordinary consumption. So what Ford brings is not only pure electric power system, but also intelligent vehicle with deep consideration of connectivity, direct integration in the vehicle's electrification architecture and cloud data service. " The built-in intelligent technology of pure electric version of Quanshun can optimize the operation efficiency of the fleet, reduce the loss, and provide valuable work reports for drivers, so as to improve driving behavior. The team is able to pass Ford telematics Gamma Collect insight data and connect with Ford group, which has 4G LTE wireless hotspot function, to support up to 10 devices to access high-speed wireless network at the same time. Managers can also use Ford data services Gamma Tools to track vehicles in real time on the map, set up a geographical fence or remotely detect vehicles, and view key data of vehicles and drivers at any time. Ford's range of driving aids can improve driver confidence and minimize the risk of collision. The vehicle will be equipped with intelligent inductive braking protection with pedestrian identification function, front collision warning system, braking system after collision, lane keeping assist system, automatic high beam and other functions. As a leader in commercial vehicles for 35 years, Ford understands that consumers need tools to do their jobs. Pure electric full ride can bring unreduced cargo volume, and has a variety of chassis options, including vans and class II chassis, as well as three roof heights and three body lengths. Consumers can get full support from the company's extensive dealer network of electric vehicle certification and more than 730 commercial vehicle centers in the United States. They also have access to the Ford charging network, now the largest public charging network in North America. With all electric ride, team managers don't just have to go to and from gas stations. Pure electric power system means less maintenance cycle and lower operation cost compared with internal combustion engine. Fleet managers also benefit from state and regional government tax incentives for electric vehicles, road access priorities, free parking and lower insurance rates. Pure electric full ride will also expand the use scenarios of vehicles, and realize the use in places where the internal combustion engine cannot work, such as indoor environment with limited ventilation or noise control areas at night. At the same time, Ford is also speeding up the pace of electrification in China.
