Migration to Alternative Fuels and Powertrains

In this section

Our migration to alternative fuels and powertrains includes introducing electrified vehicles – including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) – as well as advanced clean diesel technologies and vehicles that run on renewable biofuels. We are also working to advance hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) technologies.

For more information on our plans regarding each of these alternative fuels and powertrain technologies, please click on the Ford vehicles above.
