Ford Motor Co. announced on June 8, 2021, the debut of the all-new 2022 Ford Maverick, a four-door compact pickup that comes standard with five-passenger seating and is powered by a full-hybrid powertrain. It has a projected EPA-estimated rating of 40 mpg city fuel economy.
As demand for eco-friendly vehicles surge, more OEMs and upfitters are working to meet fleet needs.
XL Fleet announced that Canada-based upfitter Farmbro is expected to double its sales volume of XL hybrid-electric drive system installations in 2021 compared to 2020 to meet the increasing demand for fleet electrification in Canada.
The XLP platform is expected to begin shipping on select configurations of the Chevrolet and GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD pickup trucks in the first quarter of 2021, and Chevrolet and GMC 3500 and 4500 cutaway chassis in the second quarter of 2021.
The all-new 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid powertrain is available in the all-new F-150.
The infusion of $350 million will accelerate development of fully electric options and a move into Classes 7 and 8.
The all-new Ford F-150 features a new hybrid powertrain, new workspace convenience features, as well as updated connectivity and safety features.
The XLP Plug-in Hybrid Electric drive system, which helps fleets meet sustainability goals by improving fuel economy and reducing emissions of commercial pickup trucks, was named as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of the year in the transportation category.
The commercial fleet market wants EVs as evidenced by the increased number of national fleets that are adding low- or zero-emission equipment requirements into RFPs.
XL customers have driven 100 million miles using the company's hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric drive systems, according to the company, which is also celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.
