Ford Australia

We are excited to announce full details of the Ranger plug-in hybrid, available in Australia in mid-2025. Ranger PHEV combines the benefits of more power, increased torque, reduced CO2 emissions, and enhanced fuel economy, all while maintaining the legendary towing, carrying, and off-roading capabilities that have made the Ranger Australia’s favourite vehicle. Ranger PHEV brings the added benefit of Pro Power Onboard, allowing it to become a portable power source – super handy for worksite equipment, at campsites, or even with a caravan. The addition of PHEV to the Ranger lineup marks the first time in history that Australia’s best-selling nameplate has been offered with an electrified plug-in hybrid option, with the backing of an extensive nationwide dealer network. We can’t wait for our customers to get behind the wheel. Check out the full specs of the Ranger PHEV: https://lnkd.in/gidKtp2f #RangerUnlimited #RangerPHEV #Innovation Tom Smith

Ranger PHEV has generated huge interest among Ranger owners and many Aussies who are new to the Ford brand, but getting interest from within the corridors of Parliament House in Canberra is something a little different.   Last week, Ford took a Ranger PHEV prototype to Parliament House for an event hosted by the National Automotive Leasing & Salary Packaging Association | NALSPA, and the Parliamentary Friends of EVs. For attendees, making EVs available, accessible and appealing to Australians was front of mind, with plug-in hybrid electric technology a perfect solution for many motorists.    Ford Australia’s contribution to the conversation was how Ford’s focus with Ranger PHEV is to develop an EV for Aussies who need the capabilities that a ute offers. Ranger PHEV has everything a ute buyer needs – towing, 4X4 capability, flexibility to be used for work, family and fun – along with the gains that even your standard Ranger doesn’t have, like being able to power your tools or campsite using Pro Power On Board. It was fantastic to talk about our no-compromise approach with the enthusiastic NALSPA team and friends.    The Ford Ranger is Australia’s #1-selling vehicle, and with 70% of Ford customers using their vehicle for work, offering a no-compromise PHEV ute (and indeed, one that has additional benefits) opens up many opportunities for small-medium and large businesses to begin electrifying. It also gives real benefits to our many off-road customers, who can drive on electric around town and switch to petrol and use the Pro-Power On Board when they’re off road.   Thanks to National Automotive Leasing & Salary Packaging Association | NALSPA for the invitation and to the Parliamentary Friends of EVs for the great conversation.

You’re not seeing things… this is a Ford Mustang Mach-E, our all-electric mid-sized SUV, and yes, that’s it decked out with emergency services-style decals.   In parts of Europe and the US, emergency services like police and even ambulance are using the Mustang Mach-E in their day-to-day work. Thanks to its speed and agility, Mach-E can help first responders get where they need to go as quickly as possible – good news for them and for the people who need their help. If you’d like to see it out in real life, take a look at this great video from Ford Europe: https://lnkd.in/gpeV4bvK   In Australia, Ford works with emergency services and other major fleet customers to meet their varied and unique vehicle needs, but it’s fair to say that turning up at fleet events with our Mustang Mach-E is something many don’t expect!   You can find out more about the Ford Mustang Mach-E below or contact our Fleet Team at askfleet@ford.com. https://lnkd.in/gnU6DWMv

An insightful discussion with the Women of Ford employee resource group, and a visit to the Design Centre, capped off the trip – thanks to Elena and Kay for joining us!
