ford to invest $11 billion to launch 16 all-electric and 24 hybrid vehicles by 2022.

ford to invest $11 billion to launch 16 all-electric and 24 hybrid vehicles by 2022.

Jan 15, 2018

ford motor company promises to spend $11 billion on technology by 2022, rolling out 16 all-electric cars within five years, the first of which would arrive in 2020. also promised is 24 hybrids. the first all-electric looks to be a high-performance suv. other categories could be commercial vans and…a mustang coupe.

in a nod toward global sentiment recognizing that regulation around the globe will continue to crack down on fuel economy and pollution, and rightfully so. lower prices, longer range, and more charging stations, will drive consumers to electricity rather than gasoline.

“we’re expecting more customer acceptance,” said joe hinrichs, ford’s president of global operations, at the detroit auto show. hinrichs added, “we certainly can see the day when internal combustion engines go away.”

Car companies were at Milan’s furniture fair—Salon del Mobile— en masse this year. Mazda showed a chair inspired by its new Kodo design language while Maserati’s chair was covered in the same Poltrona Frau leather as its seats.

Ford’s “Futuring Team” of designers came up with a chair and table lamp that embody current trends, the company said. “The Ford Design team has for years attended events such as Salone del Mobile as creative observers, and now we are showing products designed by automotive designers,” said a Ford designer. “Many companies have access to technology, but it is design and innovation that elevates one product above another.”

Car companies have used Milan as a showcase before. Ford famously (world’s first automaker to showcase a car) introduced Marc Newson’s O21C car there in 2000. That strategy was echoed in Renault’s partnership this year with Ross Lovegrove on an actual vehicle.

Two years ago, Audi showed off a chair said to embody its design values.  
 
But never before has there been such a rush of automakers to show talents beyond car building, to latch on to name designers and to turn up the lights and sound at Mobile.
