Engineered and Built In Europe - Ford Introduces the All-Electric Explorer

Ford has revealed the new all-electric Explorer crossover. Engineered and built in Germany, it is the company’s first electric vehicle (EV) to be built at scale in the new Ford Cologne EV Centre.

The new model offers the ability to fast charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 25 minutes, and access, by 2024, to 500,000 charging points across Europe.

Features include a SYNC Move  supersized movable touchscreen and fully connected infotainment system with audio tailored to the interior, wireless app integration and advanced driver assistance technology. 

The infotainment system's movable 15‑inch touchscreen can slide up and down to suit the driver, and conceals a private locker storage space for valuables.

Advanced driver assistance systems include, for the first time on a Ford in Europe, Assisted Lane Change  for safely changing lanes at the push of an indicator stalk, and Clear Exit Assist  that provides warnings of approaching cyclists before opening doors in busy city centres.

Available in two highly specified versions – Explorer and Explorer Premium – the new all-electric Explorer can be ordered from later this year.

Martin Sander, general manager, Ford Model e, Europe., says: “Explorer is a trailblazer for a new breed of exciting Ford electric vehicles. Steeped in our American roots but built in Cologne for our customers in Europe, it is road trip-ready for the big adventures and fully loaded with everything our customers will need for their daily drives.” 

Ford in Europe is committed to offering an all-electric portfolio of passenger vehicles by 2030.
